Start the window manager\nmosaico stop               # Stop the window manager\nmosaico status             # Show current status\nmosaico doctor             # Check your setup for common issues\nmosaico init               # Create default configuration files\nmosaico autostart enable   # Start automatically on Windows boot\nmosaico autostart disable  # Remove automatic startup\nmosaico autostart status   # Check if autostart is enabled\nmosaico --help             # Show all available commands\n```\n\n### Actions\n\n```sh\nmosaico action focus left         # Focus window to the left\nmosaico action focus right        # Focus window to the right\nmosaico action focus up           # Focus window above\nmosaico action focus down         # Focus window below\nmosaico action move left          # Move window to the left\nmosaico action move right         # Move window to the right\nmosaico action move up            # Move window up\nmosaico action move down          # Move window down\nmosaico action retile             # Re-apply the current layout\nmosaico action toggle-monocle     # Toggle monocle mode\nmosaico action cycle-layout       # Cycle BSP / VerticalStack / ThreeColumn\nmosaico action close-focused      # Close the focused window\nmosaico action minimize-focused   # Minimize the focused window\nmosaico action goto-workspace-3   # Switch to workspace 3 (1-8)\nmosaico action send-to-workspace-5  # Send focused window to workspace 5 (1-8)\nmosaico pause                     # Pause all hotkeys (also Alt + Shift + P)\nmosaico unpause                   # Resume all hotkeys\n```\n\n### Debugging\n\n```sh\nmosaico debug list    # List all visible windows\nmosaico debug events  # Watch window events in real time\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nConfiguration files live in `~/.config/mosaico/`:\n\n| File | Purpose |\n|------|---------|\n| `config.toml` | Layout (gap, ratio), workspace mode, borders, theme, logging |\n| `keybindings.toml` | Hotkey mappings (vim-style by default) |\n| `bar.toml` | Status bar widgets and colors |\n| `rules.toml` | Community window rules (auto-downloaded) |\n| `user-rules.toml` | Personal rule overrides; take priority over `rules.toml` |\n\nChanges to `config.toml`, `bar.toml`, and `user-rules.toml` are\nhot-reloaded automatically. Keybinding changes require a daemon restart.\n\nRun `mosaico init` to create the default configuration files.\n\n### Default keybindings\n\n| Shortcut             | Action                            |\n|----------------------|-----------------------------------|\n| Alt + H              | Focus left                        |\n| Alt + J              | Focus down                        |\n| Alt + K              | Focus up                          |\n| Alt + L              | Focus right                       |\n| Alt + Shift + H      | Move left                         |\n| Alt + Shift + J      | Move down                         |\n| Alt + Shift + K      | Move up                           |\n| Alt + Shift + L      | Move right                        |\n| Alt + Shift + R      | Retile                            |\n| Alt + T              | Toggle monocle                    |\n| Alt + N              | Cycle layout (BSP / VStack / 3Col) |\n| Alt + Q              | Close focused                     |\n| Alt + M              | Minimize focused                  |\n| Alt + 1 .. Alt + 8       | Switch to workspace 1-8           |\n| Alt + Shift + 1 .. Alt + Shift + 8 | Send focused window to workspace 1-8 |\n| Alt + Shift + P      | Pause / unpause all hotkeys       |\n\n### Logging\n\nLogging is opt-in. Enable it in `config.toml`:\n\n```toml\n[logging]\nenabled = true\nlevel = \"info\"        # debug, info, warn, error\nmax_file_mb = 10\n```\n\nLogs are written to `~/.config/mosaico/logs/mosaico.log` with automatic rotation.\n\n## Building from source\n\n```sh\ncargo build --release\n```\n\n## Running tests\n\n```sh\ncargo test\n```\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjmelosegui%2Fmosaico","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjmelosegui%2Fmosaico","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjmelosegui%2Fmosaico/lists"}
