Please report what's missing or broken!\n\nSee [here](doc/FEATURES.md) for a detailed list of implemented or planned\nfeatures, or the [roadmap](doc/ROADMAP.md) for what's planned for the upcoming\nversions.\n\nHighlights for current version ([0.7.1](https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker/releases/tag/v0.7.1)):\n\n* *new* Support for copy-paste and middle-click paste.\n* *new* Read keyboard configuration from `/etc/default/keyboard`.\n* *new* DockApps for monitoring CPU, Memory and Network.\n* *new* `wlmtool`, eliminating the need for depending on `wmmenugen`.\n* *new* Various bug fixes ([#438](https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker/issues/438), [#439](https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker/issues/439), [#444](https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker/issues/444)).\n* *new* Builds with [wlroots 0.18, 0.19 and 0.20](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/tags).\n* Support for multiple outputs, configuable through `wlr-output-management-unstable-v1` protocol (eg. `wlr-randr`, `wdisplays`).\n* [Root menu](https://phkaeser.github.io/wlmaker/root_menu.html) can be generated from XDG repository ([#90](https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker/issues/90), eg. `wmmenugen`), and can be navigated by keyboard.\n* Screen saver support, through `ext-session-lock-v1` and `idle-inhibit-unstable-v1` protocols.\n* Hot corners with configurable actions, default to 'lock' or 'inhibit' locking.\n* Configurable through plist text files: [base configuration](etc/wlmaker.plist),\n  [style](etc/style.plist), [root menu](etc/root-menu.plist) and\n  [docks \u0026 workspaces](etc/wlmaker-state.plist).\n* wlr layer shell support (`wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1`), fully implemented \u0026 tested.\n* Appearance matches Window Maker: Decorations, dock, clip.\n* Support for Wayland XDG shell (mostly complete. Bug reports welcome).\n* Initial support for X11 applications (positioning and specific modes are missing).\n  Use `--start_xwayland` argument to enable XWayland, it's off by default.\n* Prototype DockApps (`apps/wlmclock`, `apps/wlmeyes`).\n\n### All the details?\n\nSee http://phkaeser.github.io/wlmaker for:\n\n* How to configure wlmaker.\n* Startup options.\n* Supported Wayland protocols.\n\n### Build \u0026 use it!\n\n* From source: Please follow the [detailed build instructions](doc/BUILD.md)\n  for a step-by-step guide.\n\n* Once compiled, see the [these instructions](doc/RUN.md) on how to run\n  Wayland Maker in a window or standalone, and to configure it for your needs.\n\n* Alternatively, use a pre-built package:\n\n  [![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/wlmaker.svg)](https://repology.org/project/wlmaker/versions)\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions, help and bug reports are highly welcome!
