Personal dwl Configuration
Welcome
My personal configuration of dwl, written as an Org Mode document.
Run the block below with C-c C-c
to tangle code blocks to config file.
(org-mode-restart)

After making changes, run the following in a terminal to recompile.
sudo make clean install
dwl - dwm for Wayland
See Upstream README for details on project.
Patches
Always Center
Automatically center floating windows.
#define ALWAYSCENTER_PATCH 1
Attach Top
This is a port of attachtop patch for dwm: https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/attachtop
New client attaches below the last master/on top of the stack.
Behavior feels very intuitive as it doesn't disrupt existing masters no matter the amount of them, it only pushes the clients in stack down.
#define ATTACHTOP_PATCH 1
Auto Start
Allow dwl to execute commands from autostart array in your config.h file. And when you exit dwl all processes from autostart array will be killed.
Note: Commands from array are executed using execvp(). So if you need to execute shell command you need to prefix it with "sh", "-c" (change sh to any shell you like).
#define AUTOSTART_PATCH 1
Float Unfocused Border Color
A revive of the floatBorderColor patch.
This patch allows you to set a color for floating windows when they are unfocused.
#define FLOAT_UNFOCUSED_BORDER_COLOR_PATCH 1
Foreign Toplevel Management
Implement foreign-toplevel-management
, it add handlers for activate, close, fullscreen and destroy request events, it's missing minimize and maximize request handlers.
#define FOREIGN_TOPLEVEL_MANAGEMENT_PATCH 1
IPC
Largely based on raphi's somebar, this patch provides an ipc for wayland clients to get and set dwl state. The ipc is intended for status bars, but can also be scripted with tools like dwlmsg.
Status information to stdout is currently disabled as dwl tends to freeze. For now, dwlmsg -w
should act as a drop-in replacement.
Note to pertag users: apply this for ipc tagsetting to work as expected
#define IPC_PATCH 1
Natural Scroll Trackpad
Set natural scrolling only for trackpads.
#define NATURALSCROLLTRACKPAD_PATCH 1
Numlock Capslock
Allows activating numlock or capslock at startup.
#define NUMLOCK_CAPSLOCK_PATCH 1
Per Tag
Makes layout, mwfact and nmaster individual for every tag.
#define PERTAG_PATCH 1
Restore Monitor
Moves clients to their old output when it is reattached.
#define RESTORE_MONITOR_PATCH 1
Setup Env
Allow configuring environment variables in config.h
#define SETUPENV_PATCH 1
Unclutter
Hide the mouse cursor if it isn't being used for a certain period of time.
#define UNCLUTTER_PATCH 1
Vanity Gaps
Adds (inner) gaps between client windows and (outer) gaps between windows and the screen edge in a flexible manner.
#define VANITYGAPS_PATCH 1
Warp Cursor
Warp cursor to the centre of newly focused clients.
Only moves the cursor if the cursor is currently not on the new client.
This is my version of the orphaned cursorwarp patch except I left out the config flag as I think it is unnecessary.
#define WARPCURSOR_PATCH 1
