StumpWM is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. You will not find buttons, icons, title bars, tool bars, or any of the other conventional GUI widgets.
These design decisions reflect the growing popularity of productive, customizable lisp based systems.
StumpWM is a "everything-and-the-kitchen-sink WM" or "the Emacs of WMs."
StumpWM:Windows::Emacs:Text
If you want a minimalist tiling window manager, then StumpWM is not what you're looking for. The code base is ~15k lines, the binaries produced are ~60mb.
StumpWM manages windows the way emacs manages buffers, or the way screen manages terminals. If you want a flexible, customizable, hackable desktop experience, look no further.
The recommended way to install the dependencies is using Quicklisp. Follow the instructions at http://www.quicklisp.org/ to install it. In short:
$ curl -O https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
$ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
Then at the REPL:
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
Make sure you have added it to your lisp init file using:
(ql:add-to-init-file)
Then, in a repl:
(ql:quickload "clx")
(ql:quickload "cl-ppcre")
(ql:quickload "alexandria")
Note: The recommended way to install SBCL is by downloading one of their pre-built binaries available in their web page or build it from source. Please do not install SBCL using your distributions package manager, especially Ubuntu. If you do so it is likely that you'll run into problems when building StumpWM due to using obsolete versions of the dependencies.
Building stumpwm from git requires that you build the configure script:
./autogen.sh
Then run it:
./configure
Now build it:
make
If all goes well, you should have a stumpwm binary now. You can run the binary from where it is (starting it with X) or install it, along with the .info documentation, with:
make install
Now that you have a binary, call it from your ~/.xinitrc file:
# The default path is /usr/local/bin/stumpwm
echo /path/to/stumpwm >> ~/.xinitrc
startx
Hopefully that will put you in X running stumpwm! See StartUp on the wiki for more examples.
Pull requests are always welcome! Here are some guidelines to ensure that your contribution gets merged in a timely manner:
If you aren't a lisp hacker, you can contribute in the form of documenting and organizing the wiki. There's a lot of information floating around; if you find it where you didn't expect it, move or link to it in a more logical place.
Fancy yourself a lisp hacker? Here's a wishlist of features for the StumpWM universe (in no particular order):
There's a texinfo manual, stumpwm.texi. The build scripts generate an info file you can read in emacs or with the `info' program. The manual for the latest git version (may be slightly out of date) is available to read online at: The Manual
And, as in Emacs, you can always get documentation with:
| Key | Help | |--------------------|----------------------------------| | C-t h v | Variables | | C-t h f | Functions | | C-t h k | Key sequences | | C-t h c | Commands | | C-t h w | Find key sequences for a command |

There's a #stumpwm channel on irc.freenode.net, too.

A hook called whenever command mode is ended
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called whenever command mode is started
primitives.lisp (file)
While processing an I/O channel, this variable is dynamically bound to the channel in question. This is provided primarily for error-handling code.
ioloop.lisp (file)
Dynamically bound to the I/O loop currently running, providing an easy way for event callbacks to register new channels.
ioloop.lisp (file)
The directory used by stumpwm to store data between sessions.
primitives.lisp (file)
Set this variable for a visual indication of expose events on internal StumpWM windows.
primitives.lisp (file)
Set this variable to a number > 0 to turn on debugging. The greater the number the more debugging output.
primitives.lisp (file)
This is the stream debugging output is sent to. It defaults to *error-output*. It may be more convenient for you to pipe debugging output directly to a file.
primitives.lisp (file)
Default color for the desktop background.
screen.lisp (file)
The name of the default group.
primitives.lisp (file)
The default I/O loop implementation. Should be generically optimal for the given LISP implementation and operating system.
ioloop.lisp (file)
This is the package eval reads and executes in. You might want to set this to @code{:stumpwm} if you find yourself using a lot of internal stumpwm symbols. Setting this variable anywhere but in your rc file will have no effect.
primitives.lisp (file)
A keyword or list, one of:
:primary or ’(:primary) uses only the "primary" selection
:clipboard or ’(:clipboard) uses only the "clipboard" selection
Both can be specified in a list like ’(:primary :clipboard). In this case,
set-x-selection will clobber both, and get-x-selection will default to the first item.
selection.lisp (file)

True when executing external commands.
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called when a frame is given focus. The hook functions are called with 2 arguments: the current frame and the last frame.
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called whenever stumpwm switches groups. It is called with 2 arguments: the current group and the last group.
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called when a window is given focus. It is called with 2 arguments: the current window and the last window (could be nil).
primitives.lisp (file)
What appears in the frame indicator window?
primitives.lisp (file)
Keep track of the timer that hides the frame indicator.
primitives.lisp (file)
Set this to a string to remap the frame numbers to more convenient keys.
For instance,
"hutenosa"
would map frame 0 to 7 to be selectable by hitting the appropriate homerow key on a dvorak keyboard. Currently, only single char keys are supported. By default, the frame labels are the 36 (lower-case) alphanumeric characters, starting with numbers 0-9.
primitives.lisp (file)
The format string that decides what information will show up in the
group listing. The following format options are available:
@table @asis
@item %n
Substitutes the group number translated via *group-number-map*, if there
are more windows than *group-number-map* then will use the group-number.
@item %s
The group’s status. Similar to a window’s status.
@item %t
The group’s name.
@end table
primitives.lisp (file)
An alist of characters and formatter functions. The character can be used as a format character in @var{*group-format*}. When the character is encountered in the string, the corresponding function is called with a group as an argument. The functions return value is inserted into the string. If the return value isn’t a string it is converted to one using @code{prin1-to-string}.
primitives.lisp (file)
An alist of the top level maps for each group type. For a given
group, all maps whose type matches the given group are active. So for
a tile-group, both the group map and tile-group map are active.
Order is important. Each map is seached in the order they appear in the list (inactive maps being skipped). In general the order should go from most specific groups to most general groups.
bindings.lisp (file)
The keymap that group related key bindings sit on. It is bound to @kbd{C-t g} by default.
bindings.lisp (file)
Help related bindings hang from this keymap

primitives.lisp (file)
Controls whether hooks will actually run or not
primitives.lisp (file)
Set this to T if you never want windows to resize based on incremental WM_HINTs, like xterm and emacs.
tile-window.lisp (file)

When this is @code{T} the @code{run-or-raise} function searches all screens for a running instance. Set it to @code{NIL} to search only the current screen. If @var{*run-or-raise-all-groups*} is @code{NIL} this variable has no effect.
primitives.lisp (file)
The list of screens managed by stumpwm.
primitives.lisp (file)
This variable describes what will be displayed on the modeline for each screen.
Turn it on with the function TOGGLE-MODE-LINE or the mode-line command.
It is a list where each element may be a string, a symbol, or a list.
For a symbol its value is used.
For a list of the form (:eval FORM) FORM is evaluated and the
result is used as a mode line element.
If it is a string the string is printed with the following formatting
options:
@table @asis
@item %h
List the number of the head the mode-line belongs to
@item %w
List all windows in the current group windows using @var{*window-format*}
@item %W
List all windows on the current head of the current group using
@var{*window-format*}
@item %g
List the groups using @var{*group-format*}
@item %n
The current group’s name
@item %u
Using @var{*window-format*}, return a 1 line list of the urgent windows, space seperated.
@item %v
Using @var{*window-format*}, return a 1 line list of the windows, space
separated. The currently focused window is highlighted with
fmt-highlight. Any non-visible windows are colored the
*hidden-window-color*.
@item %d
Using @var{*time-modeline-string*}, print the time.
@end table
A number of modules have been written that extends the possible
formatting strings. See their documentation for details.
mode-line.lisp (file)
An alist containing format character format function pairs for formatting screen mode-lines. functions are passed the mode line.
mode-line.lisp (file)
Called after a :selection-notify event is processed. It is called with 1 argument: the selection as a string.
primitives.lisp (file)
The shell program used by @code{run-shell-command}.
primitives.lisp (file)
The keymap used by single selection menus in addition to *menu-map*
menu-declarations.lisp (file)
A hook called when a frame is split. the hook is called with the old frame (window is removed), and two new frames as arguments.
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called when stumpwm starts.
primitives.lisp (file)
This is the message StumpWM displays when it starts. Set it to NIL to suppress.
primitives.lisp (file)
Suppress abort message when non-nil.
primitives.lisp (file)
For complete focus on the task at hand, set this to @code{T} and no raise/map denial messages will be seen.
primitives.lisp (file)
Assign this T and messages will not time out. It is recommended this is assigned using LET.
primitives.lisp (file)
Set this to T if you never want to see the frame indicator.
primitives.lisp (file)
Set to T if you never want to see messages that windows were placed according to rules.
primitives.lisp (file)
The color of message text.
primitives.lisp (file)
The default value for ‘echo-date’, (e.g, Thu Mar 3 2005 23:05:25).
The default time value to pass to the modeline.
The amount of time a frame indicator timeout takes.
primitives.lisp (file)
Specifies, in seconds, how long a message will appear for. This must be an integer.
primitives.lisp (file)
If an error is encountered at the top level, in
STUMPWM-INTERNAL-LOOP, then this variable decides what action
shall be taken. By default it will print a message to the screen
and to *standard-output*.
Valid values are :message, :break, :abort. :break will break to the debugger. This can be problematic because if the user hit’s a mapped key the ENTIRE keyboard will be frozen and you will have to login remotely to regain control. :abort quits stumpwm.
primitives.lisp (file)
Called when a top level error occurs. Note that this hook is run before the error is dealt with according to *top-level-error-action*.
primitives.lisp (file)
The top level key map. This is where you’ll find the binding for the @dfn{prefix map}.
Top-level I/O loop
timers.lisp (file)
The width in pixels given to the borders of transient or pop-up windows.
primitives.lisp (file)
primitives.lisp (file)
A hook called whenever a window sets the property indicating that it demands the user’s attention
primitives.lisp (file)
version.lisp (file)
This controls the appearance of the border around windows. valid
values are:
@table @var
@item :thick
All space within the frame not used by the window is dedicated to the
border.
@item :thin
Only the border width as controlled by *maxsize-border-width*
*normal-border-width* and *transient-border-width* is used as the
border. The rest is filled with the unfocus color.
@item :tight
The same as :thin but the border surrounds the window and the wasted
space within the frame is not obscured, revealing the background.
@item :none
Like :tight but no border is ever visible.
@end table
After changing this variable you may need to call sync-all-frame-windows to see the change.
primitives.lisp (file)
The events to listen for on managed windows.
primitives.lisp (file)
This variable decides how the window list is formatted. It is a string
with the following formatting options:
@table @asis
@item %n
Substitutes the window’s number translated via *window-number-map*, if there
are more windows than *window-number-map* then will use the window-number.
@item %s
Substitute the window’s status. * means current window, + means last
window, and - means any other window.
@item %t
Substitute the window’s name.
@item %c
Substitute the window’s class.
@item %i
Substitute the window’s resource ID.
@item %m
Draw a # if the window is marked.
@end table
Note, a prefix number can be used to crop the argument to a specified size. For instance, @samp{%20t} crops the window’s title to 20 characters.
primitives.lisp (file)
an alist containing format character format function pairs for formatting window lists.
primitives.lisp (file)
This variable controls what is used for the window’s name. The default is @code{:title}.
@table @code
@item :title
Use the window’s title given to it by its owner.
@item :class
Use the window’s resource class.
@item :resource-name
Use the window’s resource name.
@end table
primitives.lisp (file)
The events to listen for on managed windows’ parents.
primitives.lisp (file)
List of rules governing window placement. Use define-frame-preference to add rules
primitives.lisp (file)
This is a plist of stumpwm’s current selections. The different properties are generally set when killing text in the input bar.
primitives.lisp (file)
Hash table for looking up windows quickly.
primitives.lisp (file)
Next: Exported functions, Previous: Exported special variables, Up: Exported definitions [Contents][Index]
Run code on all windows matching condition; var is the shared lambda variable. Range can be any screen/group/frame or :screen/:group/:frame for the current instance. Condition is just the code to evaluate.
Add @var{function} to the @var{hook-variable}. For example, to
display a message whenever you switch frames:
@example
(defun my-rad-fn (to-frame from-frame)
(stumpwm:message "Mustard!"))
(stumpwm:add-hook stumpwm:*focus-frame-hook* ’my-rad-fn) @end example
primitives.lisp (file)
Create a command function and store its interactive hints in
*command-hash*. The local variable %interactivep% can be used to check
if the command was called interactively. If it is non-NIL then it was
called from a keybinding or from the colon command.
The NAME argument can be a string, or a list of two symbols. If the
latter, the first symbol names the command, and the second indicates
the type of group under which this command will be usable. Currently,
tile-group and floating-group are the two possible values.
INTERACTIVE-ARGS is a list of the following form: ((TYPE PROMPT) (TYPE PROMPT) ...)
each element in INTERACTIVE-ARGS declares the type and prompt for the
command’s arguments.
TYPE can be one of the following:
@table @var
@item :y-or-n
A yes or no question returning T or NIL.
@item :variable
A lisp variable
@item :function
A lisp function
@item :command
A stumpwm command as a string.
@item :key-seq
A key sequence starting from *TOP-MAP*
@item :window-number
An existing window number
@item :number
An integer number
@item :string
A string
@item :key
A single key chord
@item :window-name
An existing window’s name
@item :direction
A direction symbol. One of :UP :DOWN :LEFT :RIGHT
@item :gravity
A gravity symbol. One of :center :top :right :bottom :left :top-right :top-left :bottom-right :bottom-left
@item :group
An existing group
@item :frame
A frame
@item :shell
A shell command
@item :rest
The rest of the input yet to be parsed.
@item :module
An existing stumpwm module
@end table
Note that new argument types can be created with DEFINE-STUMPWM-TYPE.
PROMPT can be string. In this case, if the corresponding argument is
missing from an interactive call, stumpwm will use prompt for its
value using PROMPT. If PROMPT is missing or nil, then the argument is
considered an optional interactive argument and is not prompted for
when missing.
Alternatively, instead of specifying nil for PROMPT or leaving it
out, an element can just be the argument type.
command.lisp (file)
Since interactive commands are functions and can conflict with package symbols. But for backwards compatibility this macro creates an alias name for the command that is only accessible interactively.
command.lisp (file)
Create a rule that matches windows and automatically places them in
a specified group and frame. Each frame rule is a lambda list:
@example
(frame-number raise lock &key create restore dump-name class instance type role title)
@end example
@table @var
@item frame-number
The frame number to send matching windows to
@item raise
When non-nil, raise and focus the window in its frame
@item lock
When this is nil, this rule will only match when @var{target-group}
matches the group designated by @var{from-group}.
When non-nil, this rule matches regardless
of the group and the window is sent to @var{target-group}. If
@var{lock} and @var{raise} are both non-nil, then stumpwm will jump to
the specified group and focus the matched window.
@item from-group
When @var{lock} is NIL, and this is non-NIL, this rule will only match
when @var{target-group} matches @var{from-group}. This should be set
to either a group name(a string), or an expression that returns a group(e.g (current-group)).
When this is NIL, the rule matches if @var{target-group} matches
the group the window is in, or the current group if the window has no group.
@item create
When non-NIL the group is created and eventually restored when the value of
create is a group dump filename in *DATA-DIR*. Defaults to NIL.
@item restore
When non-NIL the group is restored even if it already exists. This arg should
be set to the dump filename to use for forced restore. Defaults to NIL
@item class
The window’s class must match @var{class}.
@item instance
The window’s instance/resource name must match @var{instance}.
@item type
The window’s type must match @var{type}.
@item role
The window’s role must match @var{role}.
@item title
The window’s title must match @var{title}.
@end table
primitives.lisp (file)
Declare an interactive keymap mode. This can be used for developing
interactive modes or command trees, such as @command{iresize}.
The NAME argument follows the same convention as in @command{defcommand}.
ON-ENTER and ON-EXIT are optional functions to run before and after the
interactive keymap mode, respectively. If ABORT-IF is defined, the interactive
keymap will only be activated if calling ABORT-IF returns true.
KEY-BINDINGS is a list of the following form: ((KEY COMMAND) (KEY COMMAND) ...)
If one appends t to the end of a binding like so: ((kbd "n") "cmd" t) then
the keymap is immediately exited after running the command.
Each element in KEY-BINDINGS declares a command inside the interactive keymap. Be aware that these commands won’t require a prefix to run.
interactive-keymap.lisp (file)
Deprecated. Use ‘defcommand’ instead.
command.lisp (file)
Create a new type that can be used for command arguments. @var{type} can be any symbol.
When @var{body} is evaluated @var{input} is bound to the
argument-line. It is passed to @code{argument-pop},
@code{argument-pop-rest}, etc. @var{prompt} is the prompt that should
be used when prompting the user for the argument.
@example
(define-stumpwm-type :symbol (input prompt)
(or (find-symbol
(string-upcase
(or (argument-pop input)
;; Whitespace messes up find-symbol.
(string-trim " "
(completing-read (current-screen)
prompt
;; find all symbols in the
;; stumpwm package.
(let (acc)
(do-symbols (s (find-package "STUMPWM"))
(push (string-downcase (symbol-name s)) acc))
acc)))
(throw ’error "Abort.")))
"STUMPWM")
(throw ’error "Symbol not in STUMPWM package")))
(defcommand "symbol" (sym) ((:symbol "Pick a symbol: "))
(message "~a" (with-output-to-string (s)
(describe sym s))))
@end example
This code creates a new type called @code{:symbol} which finds the
symbol in the stumpwm package. The command @code{symbol} uses it and
then describes the symbol.
command.lisp (file)

Add a keybinding mapping for the key, @var{key}, to the command,
@var{command}, in the specified keymap. If @var{command} is nil, remove an
exising binding. For example,
@example
(stumpwm:define-key stumpwm:*root-map* (stumpwm:kbd "C-z") "echo Zzzzz...")
@end example
Now when you type C-t C-z, you’ll see the text “Zzzzz...” pop up.
Define the keys to be remapped and their mappings. The SPECS
argument needs to be of the following structure:
(regexp-or-function . (("key-to-remap" . <new-keycodes>) ...))
EXAMPLE:
(define-remapped-keys
’(("Firefox"
("C-n" . "Down")
("C-p" . "Up")
("C-k" . ("C-S-End" "C-x")))))
The above form remaps Ctrl-n to Down arrow, and Ctrl-p to Up arrow keys. The Ctrl-k key is remapped to the sequence of keys Ctrl-Shift-End followed by Ctrl-x.

Create an empty keymap. If you want to create a new list of bindings
in the key binding tree, this is where you start. To hang frame
related bindings off @kbd{C-t C-f} one might use the following code:
@example
(defvar *my-frame-bindings*
(let ((m (stumpwm:make-sparse-keymap)))
(stumpwm:define-key m (stumpwm:kbd "f") "curframe")
(stumpwm:define-key m (stumpwm:kbd "M-b") "move-focus left")
m ; NOTE: this is important
))

@end example
primitives.lisp (file)
Refresh current window by a pair of resizes, also make it occupy entire frame.
tile-window.lisp (file)

window.lisp (file)
Resize the current frame by @var{width} and @var{height} pixels
tile-group.lisp (file)

iresize.lisp (file)
Restart stumpwm. This is handy if a new stumpwm executable has been
made and you wish to replace the existing process with it.
Any run-time customizations will be lost after the restart.
Soft restart StumpWM. The lisp process isn’t restarted. Instead,
control jumps to the very beginning of the stumpwm program. This
differs from RESTART, which restarts the unix process.
Since the process isn’t restarted, existing customizations remain after the restart.
Display a menu with the active restarts and let the user pick one. Error is the error being recovered from. If the user aborts the menu, the error is re-signalled.
Restores screen, groups, or frames from named file, depending on file’s contents.
fdump.lisp (file)
Restore *window-placement-rules* from FILE.
tile-window.lisp (file)
Run each stumpwm command in sequence. This could be used if you’re used to ratpoison’s rc file and you just want to run commands or don’t know lisp very well. One might put the following in one’s rc file:
@example
(stumpwm:run-commands
"escape C-z"
"exec firefox"
"split")
@end example
command.lisp (file)
Call each function in HOOK.
primitives.lisp (file)
Call each function in HOOK and pass args to it.
primitives.lisp (file)
Similar to run-or-raise, but move the matching window to the current frame instead of switching to the window.
Run the shell command, @var{cmd}, unless an existing window
matches @var{props}. @var{props} is a property list with the following keys:
@table @code
@item :class
Match the window’s class.
@item :instance
Match the window’s instance or resource-name.
@item :role
Match the window’s @code{WM_WINDOW_ROLE}.
@item :title
Match the window’s title.
@end table
By default, the global @var{*run-or-raise-all-groups*} decides whether
to search all groups or the current one for a running
instance. @var{all-groups} overrides this default. Similarily for
@var{*run-or-raise-all-screens*} and @var{all-screens}.
Run the specified shell command. If @var{collect-output-p} is @code{T} then run the command synchonously and collect the output. Be careful. If the shell command doesn’t return, it will hang StumpWM. In such a case, kill the shell command to resume StumpWM.
Perform an action after a delay of SECS seconds.
Repeat the action every REPEAT seconds, if repeat is non-nil.
SECS and REPEAT may be reals.
The action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS.

Prompt the user with a menu that allows them to mark each item
with a character. They can exit the menu by pressing enter, or
whatever key is mapped to ’menu-finish’ in *menu-map*. Value returned
is an alist, where the cdr of each entry is a list of
items that were marked with that character. Note that the lisp printer cannot
distinguish between ’(a . (b c d)) and ’(a b c d).
Example when "foo" and "bar" are marked with ’#d’, and "baz" is not marked:
((#d "foo" "bar") (NIL "baz"))
ALLOWED-MARKERS is a list of characters. If this parameter is specified, no
other markers are allowed.
EXTRA-KEYMAP can be a keymap whose bindings will take precedence
over the default bindings.

over the default bindings.
FILTER-PRED should be a a function returning T when a certain menu item should be visible to the user. It should accept arguments
ITEM-STRING (the string shown to the user), ITEM-OBJECT (the object
corresponding to the menu item), and USER-INPUT (the current user
input). The default is MENU-ITEM-MATCHES-REGEXP.
Returns the selected element in TABLE or nil if aborted.

The substrings between the splitting points are made into a list
which is returned.
***If SEPARATORS is absent, it defaults to "[ ftnrv]+".
If there is match for SEPARATORS at the beginning of STRING, we do not
include a null substring for that. Likewise, if there is a match
at the end of STRING, we don’t include a null substring for that.

group.lisp (file)
Returns a list of events that CHANNEL is interested in. An event
specification may be a simple symbol, or a list of a symbol and
additional data for the event. Specific I/O loop implementations may
implement additional events, but the following event specifications
should be supported by all I/O loops:
:READ – The channel will be notified when its I/O port can be
read from without blocking.
:WRITE – The channel will be notified when its I/O port can
be written to without blocking.
(:TIMEOUT TIME-SPEC) – TIME-SPEC is a point in time in the
same units as from (GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME), at which point
the channel will be notified. It is permissible for TIME-SPEC
to be a real number of any representation, but the system does
not guarantee any particular level of accuracy.
:LOOP – The channel will be notifed for each iteration of the
I/O loop, just before blocking for incoming events. This should
be considered a hack to be avoided, but may be useful for
certain libraries (such as XLIB).
If, at any time, an empty list is returned, the channel is
unregistered with the I/O loop.
The I/O loop will check what events a channel is interested in when it is first registered with the loop, and whenever the channel has been notified of an event. If the channel changes its mind at any other point in time, it should use the IO-LOOP-UPDATE function to notify the I/O loop of such changes. The I/O loop may also update spuriously at any time, but such updates are not guaranteed.
ioloop.lisp (file)
stumpwm.lisp (file)
stumpwm.lisp (file)

Called by the I/O loop to notify a channel that an event has occurred. EVENT is the symbol corresponding to the event specification from IO-CHANNEL-EVENTS (that is, :READ, :WRITE, :TIMEOUT or :LOOP).

Returns the I/O facility operated on by CHANNEL, in a
representation understood by IO-LOOP. CHANNEL may be either an I/O
channel or an object representing an underlying I/O facility, such
as a stream object. An I/O loop implementation should implement
methods for any primitive I/O facilities that it can monitor for
events, and abstract channels should return whatever
IO-CHANNEL-IOPORT returns for the primitive facility that it
operates on.
An I/O channel may also return NIL to indicate that it is only interested in purely virtual events, such as :TIMEOUT or :LOOP.
ioloop.lisp (file)
