If you're new to dwm, notice the status bar on the top of the screen.

Each module on the right of the status bar is a script located in \f(CW~/.local/bin/statusbar/\fP.

The script that sets the bar is \f(CW~/.local/bin/dwmbar\fP.

If you edit and save changes to that file in vim, vim will automatically kill and update it.

Key bindings are stored in two places.

dwm-specific binds are compiled into dwm itself, but can be found in \f(CW~/repos/dwm/config.h\fP. You'll have to recompile dwm to change them.
