Development on hold for code clean up
DE/WM agnostic tiling manager.
Calls into other applications to handle window management. Uses rofi to present options.
Dependencies:
- rofi
- wmctrl
- xdotool
- xprop
This only works for a triple monitor set up with three 1920x1080 monitors arranged landscape in a single row. I hardcoded some stuff for my own set up. Don't worry. Eventually I will make it generalised for other configurations.
Development is done by implementing a new feature, using it for a while to ensure it works, then merging and tagging when it seems fine. Not great, I know.
Clone the repo, and run make install.
It will copy the woof bash script into ~/bin/ and copy the woof python package into ~/.woof/.
Assign hotkeys using xbindkeys to actually use it

Use the rofi menu, it will list all options. You probably won't know what parameters to put it though. Use your best judgement or look through the code. I haven't bothered to properly document it all.
Plenty.
