hevel
this is the codeberg repository for the website of the hevel window manager. it is based of the original derivelinux website, and is a subproject of the derivelinux project
from the hevel source code repository:
"Make the user interface invisible"
hevel is a scrollable, floating window manager for Wayland that uses mouse chords for all commands. Its design is inspired by ideas from Rob Pike's 1988 paper, "Window Systems Should be Transparent", taken to their logical extremes. In this sense, hevel is a modernization of mouse-driven Unix and Plan 9 window systems such as mux, 81⁄2, and rio. Unlike those systems, hevel has no menus and is not limited to a single screen of space. Instead, the desktop is an infinite plane: windows can be created anywhere, and the view can be freely scrolled thru (vertically, or in all axis).
WARNING: hevel is experimental software. Use at your own risk.
