EWM

A Window Manager designed specifically for my workflow on an ultrawide monitor.

Alt Text

Why

I find that tiling window managers are terrible on ultrawide monitors, the main issue being that if you only have a single window on the screen, say a text editor, then you end up having the bulk of the text off to the far left. Floating window managers don't have this issue but most of them fall short (for me) in other aspects.

Instead of writing hundereds of lines in some bespoke configuration language trying to add missing functionality I figured it would be easier to just write a window manager that just does the thing.
