stackwm: a stacking window-manager.

stackwm is a minimal window-manager based around a stack of windows, intended to help focus:

• only the top of the stack is visible.
• new windows go onto the top of the stack.
• you go back down the stack by closing windows.
• you can swap the top two windows, e.g. for checking documentation, but no further.

howto

opening windows:

• <S-c>: create terminal.
• <S-b>: open browser.
• <S-p>: use dmenu to open other applications.

managing windows:

• <S-x>: swap the top two windows.
• <S-w>: close current window.
• <S-q>: quit stackwm.
