# labwc
|
|
|
|
Labwc is a free, stacking compositor for Wayland.
|
|
|
|
It is in early development and has the following aims:
|
|
|
|
- Be light-weight, small and fast.
|
|
- Have the look and feel of the X11 Window Manager Openbox.
|
|
- Where practicable, use other software to show wall-paper, take screenshots,
|
|
and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
```
|
|
Alt+Escape Exit labwc
|
|
Alt+F2 Cycle windows
|
|
