Shod Window Manager

seninha.org

Shod is a mouse-based X11 window manager which can tile and tab windows together into stacking containers. Shod is controlled by responding to client messages sent by the shodc utility (shod's remote controller). Shod does no keybinding by itself, and depends on programs like sxhkd for that.

About

Application windows can be tiled and tabbed together into a meta-window called “container”. Containers float around on the screen and stack on top of each other just like in other stacking window managers.

To tile or tab windows together, drag-and-drop the titlebar of a window into the border or titlebar of the other with the middle or right mouse button.

Shod automatically tabs related windows together on the same container. Supporting dialog windows, palettes, and tornoff menus are only visible when their respective leader window is active, and are hidden otherwise to not clutter the screen.

Shod has no desktop panel or bar; but it features a dock where dockapps (small windows commonly used on other window managers like WindowMaker) can be placed on. The dock does not appear unless a dockapp is opened.
