tiny window manager

## NAME

tinywm - tiny window manager

## SYNOPSIS

**tinywm**

## DESCRIPTION

**TinyWM** is a small, simple window manager.  It has a minimal memory footprint, which makes it useful in embedded systems.  It features window move, resize, and raise operations, and supports "sloppy focus". Due to its simplicity, its source code (in C and Python) can be used as a reference implementation for developers seeking to understand basic window manager programming.

## USAGE

- Focus follows pointer.

  - Alt+Button1, drag: interactive window move

  - Alt+Button3, drag: interactive window resize

  - Alt+F1: raise focused window
