In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and moved freely.

there is a ton of customisation possible and patches that you can compile to modify the behaviour, vim bindings to navigate the entire system are a fucking blessing i swear, The version that you will find on my fork of LARBS contains a number of changes that im too lazy to list right now, see them for yourself, sorry. there is a ton of customisation possible and patches that you can compile to modify the behaviour, vim bindings to navigate the entire system are a fucking blessing i swear, The version that you will find on my fork of LARBS contains a number of changes that im too lazy to list right now, see them for yourself, sorry.

The user can then select an item, through the arrow keys or typing a part of the name, and the line is printed to stdout. dmenu_run is a wrapper that ships with the dmenu distribution that allows its use as an application launcher."
