# xmonad

**A tiling window manager for X11.**

[XMonad][web:xmonad] is a tiling window manager for X11. Windows are arranged

automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising

screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard:

a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured and extensible in

Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings and other extensions

may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied

dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each

workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled

on several physical screens.

This repository contains the [xmonad][hackage:xmonad] package, a minimal,

stable, yet extensible core. It is accompanied by

[xmonad-contrib][gh:xmonad-contrib], a library of hundreds of additional

community-maintained tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined

make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization

possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own

window manager.
