What is bspwm?

bspwm is a tiling window manager that represents windows as leaves within a complete binary tree architecture. It operates exclusively by responding to X events and messages sent through a dedicated communication socket. The tool bspc plays a crucial role in transmitting messages to this socket. Notably, bspwm does not handle keyboard or mouse input directly, which necessitates the use of an external program like sxhkd to translate user actions into bspc commands. Each monitor showcases only the tree that corresponds to the currently active desktop, allowing users to view just one desktop's structure at any given moment. This arrangement effectively partitions a monitor's rectangular space into smaller, rectangular sections that represent different windows. As a result, users can navigate their workspace with great efficiency, fostering a clean and organized environment. This unique design enhances productivity by allowing users to focus on one task at a time without distractions.
