shko

shko sharko -
a little keyboard-oriented floating, zooming, and scrolling neuswc window manager written in zig 0.15.2, originally written by ~shrub900 and now maintained by me.

you could just call it hevel for the laptop.

shko has repositories on:
codeberg
srht

build

to compile and install shko:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~chld/shko --depth 1
cd shko
./build.sh make # as root

make sure you have already compiled and installed neulibs (neuswc, neuwld)

configuration

configuration variables are stored in the config.zig file,
and are imported by shko.zig to get options from.

config.zig consists of:

• keybinds
• border colors
• border width
• default programs
• window behavior

keybindings

general:

• term: mod+return
• menu: mod+r
• exit: mod+shift+q

moving windows:

• drag: mod+btn_left
• resize: mod+btn_right

navigating planes:

• center: mod+period
• next: mod+tab
• navi: mod+arrowkeys (up, down, left, right)

zooming:

• in: mod+= (equals)
• out: mod+- (minus)

contribute

shko is a growing window manager, and any help would be deeply appreciated!
