I've been using both dwm and dmenu for about a year now. I enjoy them as they do their thing and get out of the way.


Same, plus st, which doesn’t even do tmux’s (or their tool scroll¹’s) scrollback thing and get a scrollbar or extraneous scrolling key bindings in the way (unless you apply the scrollback patch²).

I switched to dwm a couple of weeks ago after using Ratpoison for years and years, and I'm super happy with it. It solves the things that bugged me about Ratpoison. The one feature I was missing was very easy to add myself (the equivalent of "set padding" in monocle mode).


I've been using dwm since 2010 and and still don't consider changing that. I use st at home (qterminal at work). dwm in combination with dmenu, slstatus, and slock runs fast on every machine with minimal resources and doesn't waste a pixel of your screen.
