what makes wmrc different from everything else?

• extensibility

wmrc is written in bash. if you know bash, you can change every aspect of wmrc, and it's clear/clean code to look through.

• hybrid window manager

rather than being a tiling window manager, which tiles windows, a floating window manager, which floats windows, or a dynamic window manager, which does both, wmrc is a hybrid window manager. this means that it is both tiling and floating at the same time for every window. you can arrange windows in predefined layouts, however you can manipulate them as if they were in fact floating windows.

• groups

wmrc uses groups rather than workspaces. groups, originally used in cwm, are like workspaces on steroids. windows are not assigned groups by default, you can assign multiple windows to one group, then you can show a group, and show multiple groups at once. they are very similar to dwm's tags.

• lightweight

the backend behind wmrc is just a few command line utilities (wmutils). this makes it lightweight and fast.
