#
# bspwm is the best window manager. It does one thing really
# well and supports running commands directly through the shell.
#
# I used to love bspwm a lot. I still do, but it's not as useful
# now that I know how to use tmux. By using a terminal multiplexer,
# the issue of organizing several terminal windows in one view is
# solved without having to depend on the window manager.
#
# bspwm is still useful when you want a minimal setup with no
# overhead, since it performs exceptionally well compared to other
# desktop environments riddled with features. Plus, it supports
# HiDPI really well, with the exception of some older programs.
#
# The Simple X Hotkey Daemon (sxhkd) is used to make keyboard
# bindings so you can interact with bspwm. Make sure your bspwmrc
# file is executable (chmod +x) as well.
