# NAME

nedm - A Wayland tiling compositor

# SYNOPSIS

*nedm* [OPTIONS]

# DESCRIPTION

nedm is a slim, keyboard-controlled, tiling compositor for
wayland conceptually based on the X11 window manager ratpoison.

It allows for the screen to be split into non-overlapping tiles and,
in contrast to the original ratpoison, has native support for
multi-workspace operation.

All interactions between the user and nedm are done via
the keyboard.

Configuration of this behaviour is specified in the
*\$XDG_CONFIG_PATH/nedm/config* file (See *nedm-config(5)*).

Scripting support is provided through the IPC
socket specified in the environment variable *\$NEDM_SOCKET*.
The syntax accepted through this socket is identical to
that of the configuration file (see *nedm-config(5)*).
Errors which occur during interaction over IPC channel
are displayed in a message box on the screen.
