# beansprout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
A tiling window manager for the [river](https://codeberg.org/river/river/) Wayland compositor written in Zig.
|
|
The window manager communicates using the [river-window-management-v1](protocol/river-window-management-v1.xml)
|
|
protocol, as well as some of River's additional Wayland protocols.
|
|
|
|
Beansprout uses a primary/stack tiling layout inspired by dwm with a customizable ratio and primary count.
|
|
Similarly, beansprout has a 32-bit tag system, rather than workspaces. Each output has its own tags and own
|
|
primary count/ratio.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Requires [Zig](https://ziglang.org/) 0.15.1 or later.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
To compile beansprout, you'll need the dependencies found below. I've listed the package names for Gentoo and
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu, but they likely exist on all major distros.
|
|
|
|
Needed at both build-time and runtime:
|
|
|
|
| Dependency | Gentoo Name | Debian/Ubuntu Name |
|
|
|--------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------|
|
|
| wayland-client | `dev-libs/wayland` | `libwayland-dev` |
|
|
| pixman | `x11-libs/pixman` | `libpixman-1-dev` |
|
|
| xkbcommon | `x11-libs/libxkbcommon` | `libxkbcommon-dev` |
|
|
| fcft | `media-libs/fcft` | `libfcft-dev` |
|
|
|
|
Only needed at build-time:
|
|
|
|
| Dependency | Gentoo Name | Debian/Ubuntu Name |
|
|
|--------------------|------------------------------|---------------------|
|
|
| wayland-protocols | `dev-libs/wayland-protocols` | `wayland-protocols` |
|
|
|
|
Optional (for building man pages):
|
|
|
|
| Dependency | Gentoo Name | Debian/Ubuntu Name |
|
|
|--------------------|------------------------------|---------------------|
|
|
| scdoc | `app-text/scdoc` | `scdoc` |
|
|
|
|
#### Note for Gentoo Users
|
|
|
|
Beansprout is available in my personal [ebuild repo](https://codeberg.org/bwbuhse/beansprout).
|
|
Right now, it's just a live ebuild, but I will add versioned ebuilds once v0.1.0 is released.
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
|
|
Build and install with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe --prefix ~/.local install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `zig build -h` to see a list of all options.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You can either add `beansprout` to the river `init` file or directly run `river -c beansprout`.
|
|
|
|
If you need to exit river, for example, if `beansprout` crashes, you can use river's hardcoded
|
|
`Ctrl+Alt+Delete` keybind.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Beansprout is configured with a [KDL](https://kdl.dev) file at
|
|
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/beansprout/config.kdl`. See [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md)
|
|
for a full reference and [examples/config.kdl](examples/config.kdl) for an example config.
