wmii is a dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It supports classic and dynamic window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with a new tagging approach. Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10,000 lines of code (including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and clarity.In its default configuration, wmii's interface is similar to that of the Vi text editor; you control the windows with H,J,K,L and combine them with either Alt or Alt+Shift. However, the window manager offers extensive configuration through a virtual filesystem similar to that offered by Plan 9 from Bell Labs. Every window, tag, and column is represented in the virtual filesystem, and windows are controlled by manipulating their file objects. If plan9port is found in the user's machine, wmii can be configured directly using the plan9port tools and the rc scripting language; otherwise, wmii can be scripted via the wmiir utility, which interfaces with the aforementioned virtual filesystem.

Like the similar dwm, wmii is initially configured to use dmenu for program launching, and supports quick access to custom scripts located in a subdirectory of the user's home directory. (en)

  • wmii es un gestor de ventanas dinámico para X11. Soporta administración dinámica de ventanas controladas con teclado, mouse y un sistema de archivos. Sustituye el paradigma del entorno de trabajo con la agrupación por etiquetas. Su filosofía minimalista pretende no excederse de las 10 000 líneas de código, incluyendo utilerías y librerías, para ser consistentes con la simplicidad y claridad. (es)
  • WMII wmii è un window manager con layout dinamici per il sistema grafico X Window System. Utilizza un sistema di configurazione altamente personalizzabile, non occupa molto spazio e supporta vari tipi di organizzazione delle finestre:* Floating Layout: disposizione convenzionale.* Tiled Layout: disposizione in orizzontale con un frame principale.* Vertical Layout: disposizione in verticale.* Grid Layout: disposizione a scacchiera.

  • wmii é um gerenciador de janelas dinâmico para o X Window System. Altamente customizável, é utilizável tanto com o teclado, quanto com o mouse. Ele suporta gerenciamento de janelas com abas e tiles com baixo uso de memória, e uma interação com usuário similar ao estilo do vi. Reescrito em C com base no wmi, em C++, o wmii é altamente modularizável e utiliza uma nova interface de comunicação entre processos baseda no protocolo de rede 9P do Plan 9. (pt)
  • window manager improved (wmi) ist ein schlanker Fenstermanager für das X Window System. Seine Entwicklung in C++ begann Ende 2003. Mit wmi wurde versucht, die besten Funktionen von Larswm, Ion, evilwm und ratpoison zu vereinen und wird daher von den Entwicklern, in Bezug auf den beliebten Texteditor, als der „vi unter den Fenstermanagern“ bezeichnet. Ähnlich wie dieser hat wmi zwei Bedienungsmodi, einen normalen Modus und einen Kommandomodus. Im Kommandomodus führt man durch Tastenkombinationen verschiedene Funktionen aus, zum Beispiel das Starten von Programmen oder die Konfiguration des Fenstermanagers. (de)
