wayfire

Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize. For maximized windows. Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570 It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad. GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project." Cosmic: "Yes"

One of the developers just responded on the github issue referecing this thread. (Also reopened the issue and removed wontfix) "After a bit of discussion on HackerNews, I got a bit better understanding of the actual problem. People don't want to just configure the keys according to a particular layout - the actual 'issue' here is that they expect the key binding changes together with the layout. Unfortunately, the 0.8.0 changes didn't make this possible to implement as a plugin. I would reconsider adding this as an option if there are enough interested people. React with a thumbs up to this comment if you are interested in having this option (though the defaults will certainly remain as they are now). Please, react only if you actually use Wayfire or would use it if it had this feature :)" https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1601#

I gave Wayfire a shot a bit earlier in the year, but as I am a Dvorak typist and <https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1601> is marked as "wontfix", I decided to stick to Awesome for the time being. It did run like a dream, though, even on my ancient potato, so if the keybinding issue does get fixed at some point I may well switch over.

Nothing quite like AwesomeWM yet, but here's two I'm aware of that have some interesting features: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/wiki https://github.com/riverwm/river (I'm also on Sway, FWIW)

It's not a particularly arduous "adventure". We maintain a list[0] of programs which use these protocols. And wlroots != tiling window manager: there are multiple wlroots-based compositors which do not use the tiling paradigm, the most developed of which is probably Wayfire[1].

You can always take a compositor and fork it to implement your window management features… or, much better, use a compositor with a plugin system, so window managers can become plugins! :) https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire
