euclid-wm
euclid-wm is a minimalist, tiling window manager for X11 that seeks to allow easy management of numerous windows entirely from the keyboard.
euclid seeks to do two things in particular:
- balance the ease of use common among window managers with automatic or fixed layouts with the flexibility of those with dynamic layouts,
- create an easy way to manage minimized windows
