DWL(1) General Commands Manual DWL(1) NAME dwl -- dwm for Wayland SYNOPSIS dwl [-v] [-d] [-s startup command] DESCRIPTION dwl is a Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm does for X11. When given the -v option, dwl writes its name and version to standard error and exits unsuccessfully. When given the -d option, dwl enables full wlroots logging, including debug information. When given the -s option, dwl starts a shell process running command when starting. When stopping, it sends SIGTERM to the child process and waits for it to exit. Users are encouraged to customize dwl by editing the sources, in par- ticular config.h. The default key bindings are as follows: Mod-[1-9] Show only all windows with a tag. Mod-Ctrl-[1-9] Show all windows with a tag. Mod-Shift-[1-9] Move window to a single tag. Mod-Ctrl-Shift-[1-9] Toggle tag for window. Mod-p Spawn wmenu-run. Mod-Shift-Return Spawn foot. Mod-[jk] Move focus down/up the stack. Mod-[id] Increase/decrease number of windows in mas- ter area. Mod-[hl] Decrease/increase master area. Mod-Return Move window on top of stack or switch top of stack with second window. Mod-Tab Show only all windows with previous tag. Mod-Shift-c Close window. Mod-t Switch to tabbed layout. Mod-f Switch to floating layout. Mod-m Switch to monocle layout. Mod-Space Switch to previous layout. Mod-Shift-Space Toggle floating state of window.

Mod-Shift-, Move window to previous monitor. Mod-Shift-. Move window to next monitor. Mod-Shift-q Quit dwl. These might differ depending on your keyboard layout. Mouse commands Mod-Button1 Move focused window while dragging. Tiled windows will be toggled to the floating state. Mod-Button2 Toggles focused window between floating and tiled state. Mod-Button3 Resize focused window while dragging. Tiled windows will be toggled to the floating state. ENVIRONMENT These environment variables are used by dwl: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR A directory where temporary user files, such as the Wayland socket, are stored. XDG_CONFIG_DIR A directory containing configuration of various programs and libraries, including libxkbcommon. DISPLAY, WAYLAND_DISPLAY, WAYLAND_SOCKET Tell how to connect to an underlying X11 or Way- land server. WLR_* Various variables specific to wlroots. XKB_*, XLOCALEDIR, XCOMPOSEFILE Various variables specific to libxkbcommon. XCURSOR_PATH List of directories to search for XCursor themes in. HOME A directory where there are always dear files there for you. Waiting for you to clean them up. These are set by dwl: WAYLAND_DISPLAY Tell how to connect to dwl. DISPLAY If using Xwayland, tell how to connect to the Xwayland server. EXAMPLES Start dwl with s6 in the background: dwl -s 's6-svscan <&-' SEE ALSO foot(1), wmenu(1), dwm(1), xkeyboard-config(7) CAVEATS The child process's standard input is connected with a pipe to dwl. If the child process neither reads from the pipe nor closes its standard input, dwl will freeze after a while due to it blocking when writing to the full pipe buffer. BUGS All of them.
