Alopex - A Tabbed, Tagging, Tiling Window Manager With Fur
Alopex is a dynamic tiling window manager with a container concept inspired by i3 but implemented very differently. Client windows are not statically assigned to a given container, instead, containers each have a configurable maximum number of clients and clients fill each container in sequence. Within containers, mulitple clients are displayed as tabs in the container's title bar.
Containers are tiled in common layouts (currently rstack, bstack, or monocle). Alopex uses a tag concept rather than the more common workspace mechanism. The default key bindings, however, are tailored for a workspace-like interaction. These bindings can easily be modified in the configuration file.
Alopex would never have continued if it weren't for its users. While many have contributed useful feedback, the following are users from the archlinux community who stand out as providing substantial and continued input that has helped shape and polish alopex.
