Scrotwm aka Spectrwm

Introduction

From their page: spectrwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and fast.


Installation

root # emerge x11-wm/spectrwm 

Xlockmore is also needed

root # emerge x11-misc/xlockmore


Setup

xinitrc

Edit ~/.xinitrc:

exec spectrwm

Copy /etc/spectrwm.conf to your home dir as an hidden file.

 $  cp /etc/spectrwm.conf ~/.spectrwm.conf

You can edit spectrwm.conf to suit your needs. The file is thoroughly commented so you won't feel lost.

Bindings (default)

   Note

Usually the M (Modus) key is either alt or the super key.

From the man page:
