dwm Configuration^
As with many tools from Suckless, dwm derives its
configuration at compile-time from a config.h header file.
If you want to modify the default configuration, you must
update the config.h, recompile, and restart X to load the
new version.
Note
The arrangement of code here is not consistent with the order
you’ll find in your config.h. In writing this article, I
have rearranged the code to better reflect the logical
structure and narrative flow of the content.

Configures the keyboard, shortcuts, and mouse commands. |
