👑 NAME 👑

pekwm — a tabbed window manager 💅 (yes bestie, that's the whole name, and honestly? it's giving main character energy already)

This is the manual page for the pekwm project, from the User Manual — sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get you fluent.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pekwm [--display]

That's it. That's the whole summoning ritual. 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here's the vibe: pekwm is a tabbed window manager that is obsessed (affectionate) with being highly configurable. Like, you wanna change something? It already has a setting for that. It's not like other window managers, fr fr.

The feature set is lowkey stacked and I need you to appreciate it:

  • Autoproperties, set properties and group windows automatically based on type or title. 🪄 No cap, it just figures out how your windows should be treated and handles it.
  • Keychains, multi-level keybindings. 🔑⛓️ One key opens a whole chain of possibilities, iykyk.
  • XRandR and Xinerama support. Multi-monitor girlies, this one's for you. 🖥️🖥️

For more information about the pekwm project and for full documentation, visit http://www.pekwm.se. Go read it, bestie, it's iconic.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — shows help information. When you're lost, this is your emotional support flag. 🫶
  • --version — shows version information. Know which era of pekwm you're living in. ⭐
  • --info — shows information about compiled in features. Your build's birth chart, basically. 🌈
  • --display DISPLAY — connect to DISPLAY instead of the DISPLAY set in the environment. Like saying "not that screen, this screen." 💅
  • --config CONFIG — use the CONFIG file instead of the default ~/.pekwm/config. Swapping out the whole personality of your setup, slay.
  • --replace — replace the running window manager. The out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new moment. 👑
Heads up: not one of these is optional-looking in a scary way — they're all just flags you hand over at launch. But --replace does exactly what it says, so know what you're doing before you hit enter. 😭

🦋 SEE YA 🦋

And that's the whole page, bestie. Run it, love it, tab everything. 💜
