Description: highly configurable X window manager
awesome manages windows dynamically in floating or tiled layouts. It is
primarily targeted at power users, developers, and all those dealing with
everyday computing tasks and looking for fine-grained control over their
graphical environment.
.
It is highly extensible and scriptable via the Lua programming language,
providing an easy-to-use and very well documented API to configure its
behavior.
.
awesome uses tags instead of workspaces, which gives better flexibility
in displaying windows, and can be entirely keyboard-driven, not needing a
mouse. It also supports multi-headed configurations; uses XCB instead of
Xlib for better performance; implements many freedesktop standards; and
can be controlled over D-Bus from awesome-client.
