What is herbstluftwm?

The runtime configuration is entirely managed through the herbstclient tool, which means the configuration file serves primarily as a startup script. Users can modify their settings, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings instantly without needing to restart the window manager, which streamlines the process significantly. Each virtual desktop, known as a tag, consists of a tiling layer and a floating layer; the tiling layer fills the entire screen while floating windows can be positioned anywhere on top. Moreover, all monitors share the same set of tags, allowing users to effortlessly switch the content displayed on two different monitors with a single keystroke. This fluid interaction not only simplifies user adjustments but also boosts multitasking efficiency, thereby significantly enhancing the overall user experience. Ultimately, such a design encourages a more dynamic and responsive computing environment for users.
