About
fht-compositor is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that implements a window management model
inspired by X11 window managers such as dwm and xmonad
Each output gets assigned 9 independent workspaces, each one holding windows that get automatically arranged on the screen space using layouts, minimizing lost screen real estate, and providing a keyboard-focused workflow
In addition, the compositor also provides some nice-to-have features that elevate the experience from a visual and practical standpoint, see features for more information.
