Hopalong

Hopalong is a simple Wayland compositor with a featureset comparable to XFWM.

Design Goals

  • Window managers should stay out of the user's way and be as boring as possible.

    • No wobbly windows or other complexity.
    • Simple chrome with color themes: Choose a primary color and we do the rest.
    • Designed for people who like GNU nano as a primary editor.
  • Minimal resource utilization.

  • Correct functionality regardless of system byte ordering (endianness).

  • Built on wlroots: a rock-solid Wayland compositor framework powering other compositors such as Sway.

Keybindings

Default keybindings are like X:

  • Ctrl+Alt+Backspace: Kill the compositor
  • Ctrl+Alt+F1-F12: Switch to the appropriate VT
  • Alt+Tab/Alt+Shift+Tab: Switch activities
  • Alt+F4: Send close signal to focused window
  • Alt+Shift+D: Toggle decorations for the focused window

Install

TODO: Document how to install this crime against humanity.

TODO

  • Damage (partial rendering of the desktop)
