Awesome is a highly configurable, tiling window manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license.  Awesome is a perfect "first" tiling window manager for those who want to try out tiling, but the extreme customization that you can achieve with awesome makes it a power user's dream.  Awesome is configured with Lua.

# Features

* Simple enough for beginner's but flexible enough for the power user.

* Extremely customizable, maybe more so than any other window manager.

* Configured in Lua.

* A documented API to configure and define the behavior of your window manager.

# Installation

```bash

sudo pacman -S awesome dmenu rofi firefox kitty pasystray volumeicon

```

```bash

paru -S i3lock-fancy-git picom-ibhagwan-git thunar-extended

```

# Additional tools for Customizing it.

```bash

sudo pacman -S lxappearance nitrogen

```

* For Fonts Im using Terminus

```bash

sudo pacman -S terminus-font 

```

```bash

paru -S consolas-font

```

# My Keybindings

The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key).  I try to keep the

keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.

| Keybinding | Action |

| :--- | :--- |

| `MODKEY + RETURN` | opens terminal (Kitty is the terminal but can be easily changed) |

| `MODKEY + x` | opens run launcher (rofi (random) is the run launcher but can be easily changed) |

| `MODKEY + SHIFT + c` | closes window with focus |

| `MODKEY + SHIFT + r` | restarts awesome |

| `MODKEY + CTRL + q` | quits awesome |

| `MODKEY + 1-9` | switch focus to workspace (1-9) |

| `MODKEY + SHIFT + 1-9` | send focused window to workspace (1-9) |

| `MODKEY + m` | maximized focused window |

| `MODKEY + d` | minimize focused window  |

| `MODKEY + CTRL + d` | restore recent minimize window |

| `ALTKEY + SHIFT + LeftArrow` | Resize window to Left side  |

| `ALTKEY + SHIFT + RightArrow` | Resize window to Right side  |

| `MODKEY + j` | switches focus between windows in the stack, going down |
