(Oh god, how mistaken I was).\n\nThat being said, it kinda works after rewriting it 3 times ;P\n\n## The hell is HellWM?\n\nHellWM is meant to be very light and modular Wayland Compositor with some unique features, like:\n- **binary workspaces**\n- **config hot reload** (not really unique rn)\n- **lua**\n\nStill under heavy development, open for contributions and ideas that will make this project better :)\n\n## Features\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eBinary Workspaces (Click to expand)\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n## You can use less amount of keys to switch between workspaces!\n\nConcept:\n\nYou can switch between **15 workspaces** just by using combinations of only **4 keys**!\n\nEach key represents a binary value, and by combining them, you can achieve more funtionality with less clicks!\n\nKeys and Binary Values:\n\n    Key 1:\n      1 = 0001\n    \n    Key 2:\n      2 = 0010\n    \n    Key 3\n      4 = 0100\n    \n    Key 4\n      8 = 1000\n\nBy adding the binary values of the pressed keys, you determine the workspace number.\nExamples:\n\n    Pressing Key 1 and Key 3 together:\n        \n        Key 1 + Key 3 = 0001 + 0100 = 0101\n        Result: 1 0 1 0\n  \n        Binary Values: 1 (Key 1) + 4 (Key 3) = 5\n        Workspace: 5\n\n    Pressing only Key 2:\n        Key 2 = 0 1 0 0\n        Result = 0 1 0 0\n        \n        Binary Values: 2 (Key 2) = 2\n        Workspace: 2\n\nConfiguration:\n\nHere’s how the configuration works:\n\n#### Normal Workspaces: You can assign individual workspaces to single keys. For example:\n\n```lua\nbind(\n    \"Super_L, 1\",   -- keys\n    \"workspace\",    -- specify that it is a workspace\n    1,              -- workspace number\n    false,          -- binary workspaces enabled\n    1,              -- binary workspaces value\n    true            -- also move active window to this workspace (not working rn)\n    )\n```\n\n```lua\nbind(\"Super_L, 2\", \"workspace\", 2, false, 0) -- Switch to workspace 2\n```\n\n#### Binary Workspaces: If you enable binary mode, keys combine to generate workspace numbers:\n\n```lua\nbind(\"Super_L, u\", \"workspace\", 1, true, 1, true)  -- Key 'u' represents Binary 1\n```\n\n```lua\nbind(\"Super_L, i\", \"workspace\", 2, true, 2, false) -- Key 'i' represents Binary 2\n```\n\n```lua\nbind(\"Super_L, o\", \"workspace\", 3, true, 4, false) -- Key 'o' represents Binary 4\n```\n\n```lua\nbind(\"Super_L, p\", \"workspace\", 4, true, 8, false) -- Key 'p' represents Binary 8\n```\n\n  Binary mode enabled (true): Combines key presses to calculate the workspace number.\n  \n  Binary values (1, 2, 4, 8) determine which binary workspace is triggered.\n    \n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## TODO:\n- [ ] xwayland\n\n## DONE:\n- [x] config\n- [x] tiling\n- [x] borders\n- [x] workspaces\n- [x] wlr-layer-shell\n- [x] binary workspaces\n- [x] optimization in output_frame\n\n# Special thanks\n\nThank you all for showing how 2 do stuff \u003c3\n\n- https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl/\n- https://github.com/swaywm/sway/\n- https://github.com/buffet/kiwmi/\n- https://github.com/dqrk0jeste/owl/\n- https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/\n- https://github.com/inclement/vivarium/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanihek%2Fhellwm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdanihek%2Fhellwm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanihek%2Fhellwm/lists"}
