This is the [http://xmonad.org xmonad] users' wiki.
−
Xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional, greatly increasing productivity in X.

=== Configuration help ===
−
Xmonad is written and extensible in Haskell, and custom layout algorithms, and other extesions, may be implemented by the user in config files. Layouts may be applied dynamically, and separate layouts can be used on each workspace. A guiding principle of the user interface is predictability: users should know in advance precisely the window arrangement that will result from any action, leading to an intuitive user interface.
