All functions can be done +with the keyboard, but moving, resizing, raising and lowering can also +be done with the mouse. + +If you don't like the default key bindings, border width, et cetera, +look in the `config.h` file, change and recompile. + +See the manual page for how to use it. + +## Compiling + +As distributed mcwm compiles fine under FreeBSD. If you want to +compile mcwm under Debian-derived GNU/Linux systems you will need +these packages and their dependencies: libxcb1-dev, libxcb-atom1-dev, +libxcb-keysyms1-dev, libxcb-icccm1-dev, libxcb-randr0-dev. + +Other system are likely to have similar requirements. + +## Screenshot + +![](mcwm-screen-20110308.png) + +## Children + +mcwm has been forked a few times. It was the beginning of the [2bwm +window manager](https://github.com/venam/2bwm), for instance. + +## More information & Contact + +Please see: + +https://hack.org/mc/projects/mcwm + +To contact me, write to: + +Michael Cardell Widerkrantz, mc at the domain hack.org. + |
