"Many users choose to sacrifice a little screen real-estate to display some generally useful information: the current time and date, wireless network connections, the names of open windows, etc. #StumpWM allows you to display this information in a bar across either the top or the bottom of the screen."

What happens if I don't want to use that screen real-estate and instead just put a clock in my #Emacs mode line? Well, apparently the answer is on a different page: "The mode line can be turned on and off with the mode-line command or the lisp function stumpwm:toggle-mode-line". Cool, got to check it out.

This documentation is old enough to still make reference not to polybar, but to stalonetray, which got me chuckling - time flies fast...

@mariomedjeral I used #Stumpwm for many (many!) years, and its interaction with Emacs was one of the highlights.

What broke my use was multiple monitors. I simply couldn't get it all to work properly, it was a bit overwhelming.

I often use Ratpoison on my laptop, which suites it nicely.

Like Stumpwm, it's stuck of X11 which is less battery efficient than Wayland. Though I think #Ratpoison probably compensates for that.

My Linux workstation:

Impressed with stumpwm. As an emacs user thought must try (usually use XMonad).

Workflow: Debian/Emacs (denote.el)/Stumpwm/Zotero.
Happy too with Yandex-browser-stable.

@tfb My fallback WM, when for some reason exwm doesn't work for me, is StumpWM: Common LISP based so sympathetic to Emacs.

I've been using #StumpWM for over 10 years. About a year ago, I switched to #Wayland and #Sway. I configured the latter with bindings and behavior similar to StumpWM, but something still feels off, and it's very annoying. I'll be trying #Mahogany in the near future.

Apparently the original developer of the ratpoison #WindowManager (I posted about it last night) has a similar project written in #CommonLisp called #StumpWM. So, if a #TilingWindowManager interests you, give it a shot!

Fixed bug in stumpish, which disallows to successfully run stumpish inside shell script, which was launched inside StumpWM or StumpWM REPL.

Hope, it will be merged by the StumpWM devs

I was inspired by these links: https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/114512760016959177 and tried to use a DejaVu Serif fonts (BTW, I'm always like a Computer Modern serif font) in my system and use a smaller color palette or dithering in my wallpaper/blog header image.

- #StumpWm modeline looks like a good old book
- #Emacs modeline with Serif font looks interesting
- and #conky too
- blog's main page reduced from ~130 Kb to 59 Kb, lol

2) I can define custom keybindings for each application. If I want to make search in Librewolf with C-s, go to address bar with M-x and move page up/down with C-v/M-v (so, I want Emacs keybindings in my browser), then I use this code:
