### dwm.vim : Tiled Window Management for Vim
dwm.vim adds tiled window management capabilities to Vim. It is highly inspired by [dwm](http://dwm.suckless.org/) (Dynamic Window Manager) tiled layout management.
Download page on vim.org: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4186
Windows are always organised as follows:
```
===================================
| | S1 |
| |===================
| M | S2 |
| |===================
| | S3 |
===================================
```Use the following commands to create, browse and close windows:
- `C-N` Creates a new window and place it in the master pane [M] & stacks all previous windows in the stacked pane [S]
- `C-C` Close the current window if no unsaved changes
- `C-J` Jumps to next window (clockwise)
- `C-K` Jumps to previous window (anti-clockwise)
- `C-Space` Focus the current window, that is, place it in the master pane [M] & stacks all other windows in the stacked pane [S]### ScreenShot

### Installation
Install to `~/.vim/plugin/dwm.vim`.
Or copy and paste:
```
mkdir -p ~/.vim/plugin ~/.vim/doc; \
wget -qO ~/.vim/plugin/dwm.vim \
https://raw.github.com/spolu/dwm.vim/master/plugin/dwm.vim; \
wget -qO ~/.vim/doc/dwm.txt \
https://raw.github.com/spolu/dwm.vim/master/doc/dwm.txt;
```You can use `curl -so` if you prefer it over `wget`.
### Optional Settings
- `g:dwm_map_keys`: if set to a falsey value, prevents key mapping.
- `g:dwm_master_pane_width`: set the width of the master pane (e.g. `g:dwm_master_pane_width=85`)To use a mouse to select windows and resize panes:
- `set mouse=a`: enable the use of the mouse in all modes
- `set ttymouse=xterm2`: recognize mouse codes for the xterm2 terminal type### Remarks
There is only one tiled layout available right now, but do not hesitate to *fork it*!
For fun, I urge you to try using `dwm.vim` in `vim`, in `tmux`, in `ssh`, in `tmux`, in `xterm`, in `dwm`.
Thanks Uriel (✝) (*luriel* on HackerNews) for this awesome comment on the [HN post](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4419530)
related to `dwm.vim`:> As one of the original instigators of dwm and wmii before that (mostly by shouting at garbeam)
> I want to point out that this kind of tiled window management was first introduced in larswm
> (that is sadly discontinued), which in turn was heavily inspired by Rob Pike's Acme editing
> environment ( http://acme.cat-v.org ).
> So in a way we have gone full circle, from text editor, to window managers, back to text editor.
> That said, I still prefer Acme to vim, but would be really cool if somebody added mouse chording to vim :)### Contributors
