cagebreak-3.2.1

wayland tiling compositor inspired by ratpoison

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

cagebreak is a slim, keyboard-controlled, tiling compositor for wayland conceptually based on the X11 window manager ratpoison. It allows for the screen to be split into non-overlapping tiles and, in contrast to the original ratpoison, has native support for multi-workspace operation. All interactions between the user and cagebreak are done via the keyboard.
