Swap windows with keyboard ([⇧ Shift] + [⊞ Win], then [⇧ Shift] + [→])
Swap windows with mouse (hold [⇧ Shift] while dragging)

Floating window mode ([⇧ Shift] + [⊞ Win], then [F] or rule-based)
Auto-float windows which cannot fit

Allows window maximization
Toggle tiling on/off ([⇧ Shift] + [⊞ Win], then [F11])

Disable animations for longer battery life
Windows open in focused panel
Remap activation hotkey to [⇧ Shift] + [⊞ Win], [Ctrl] + [⊞ Win] or [Alt] + [⊞ Win]

FancyWM uses [⇧ Shift] + [⊞ Win] as the start of a command sequence (Activation hotkey). To start a command sequence, press and release these keys simultaneously, then follow up by pressing one of the keybindings you have configured in the settings.

FancyWM only manages restored (not minimized, not maximized) top-level application windows, so it doesn't interfere with popups, and still allows you to use all of your available display area for when you need to focus on a window.

Issues
