WMFS2: Monkeys! (586)

It's the year of the monkey, so the first release of the year shall carry this name. Amen.
Monkeys is based on LinuxBBQ Anorexia with just a handful of selected CLI applications (see scrot!)
You will have a lot of fun if you like editing WM configs. The real nice thing is that WMFS2 reconfigures on the fly (Ctrl-Mod-r), so no need for recompiling or even leaving the X server.
For your convenience I post the README.txt here
Code: Select all
Welcome to LinuxBBQ Monkeys!
Application launchers:
Mod-Return......terminal
Mod-Esc.........bbqexit logout manager
Mod-F1..........bbqapps CLI launcher
Mod-F2..........OSD info (date, time, sysinfo)

Mod-F9..........start/stop playstream
Mod-F10.........volume -
Mod-F11.........volume +
Mod-F12.........toggle mute
Mod-Print.......take scrot with little delay and open in feh
Please refer to ~/.config/wmfs/wmfsrc and wmfs manpage for a complete list of WM-specific keybindings.
Default applications:
ceni............network configurator (root)
mc..............file manager
mcedit/nano.....editors
cmus............music player
tinyirc.........IRC client
links...........web browser
git.............revision control system

playstream......plays/stops last chosen tinyradio stream
alsamixer.......volume mixer
dkeger..........Xresources theme picker

Sure, and here I just got my Violator install setup.
This WM looks so much like my old Xmonad, now I just have to try this.
Thanks for the New Year gift.

I guess I should post this somewhere.
I had some issues resizing windows/tiles. The windows frame moved, but the windows stayed the same, and I got confused.
So, after resizing, hit enter, and it will pop into place.
That might be obvious to you, but well... I am me.

Never heard of wmfs before. Less than half hour on it and already liking it better than i3. Great stuff.

Simon and snap, I agree too. I've been playing around with it since the release and it has made me forget about i3.

And it still works, almost... I just stole the entire /etc/apt dir from anorexia, and it seems to work now.
(I won't say that is how anyone should do it... but... oh well)
