Overview

About doors

doors is a Wayland compositor based on bspwm. It offers floating, tiling, and scrolling layouts, and is designed for users who like keyboard-driven window management with a simple configuration model.

The compositor uses wlroots and provides a companion command-line tool, doorsctl, which can be used for compositor bindings. Configuration is split between a startup shell script and a hotkey configuration file, giving users a familiar, scriptable setup.

This is free and open source software.
