Description

Keyboard-driven tiling Wayland sessions can be run with a compositor inspired by ratpoison and based on Cage. It is useful for users who want a minimal, focused desktop controlled mainly through commands and keybindings.

This is a Wayland compositor, not an app inside another desktop. Test configuration and keybindings before making it your only session, especially so you can exit or recover if something is misconfigured.
