- Window manager

dk is a list-based tiling window manager in the vein of dwm, bspwm and xmonad. It describes itself as heavily scriptable and tinker friendly, featuring dynamic workspaces, diverse layouts, sane support for ICCCM, EWMH, motif, and more.

## Installation

Install dkAUR for the window manager and sxhkd for the X hotkey daemon, since dk has no keybind support by itself.

Tip Upstream instructions can also be followed, but will install files without having pacman keeping track of them.

## Starting

Run `dk` using xinit.

## Configuration

The example configurations for dk and sxhkd respectively are situated in `/usr/share/doc/dk/` as `dkrc` and `sxhkdrc`. Both have to be under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dk/` and be executable. You may edit these files to your liking.

Read dk(1) and sxhkd(1) for further documentation on configuration.
