# TinyWL
This is the "minimum viable product" Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It
aims to implement a Wayland compositor in the fewest lines of code possible,
while still supporting a reasonable set of features. Reading this code is the
best starting point for anyone looking to build their own Wayland compositor
based on wlroots.
## Building TinyWL
TinyWL is disconencted from the main wlroots build system, in order to make it
easier to understand the build requirements for your own Wayland compositors.
Simply install the dependencies:
- wlroots
- wayland-protocols
And run `make`.
## Running TinyWL
You can run TinyWL with `./tinywl`. In an existing Wayland or X11 session,
tinywl will open a Wayland or X11 window respectively to act as a virtual
display. You can then open Wayland windows by setting `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` to the
value shown in the logs. You can also run `./tinywl` from a TTY.
In either case, you will likely want to specify `-s [cmd]` to run a command at
startup, such as a terminal emulator. This will be necessary to start any new
programs from within the compositor, as TinyWL does not support any custom
keybindings. TinyWL supports the following keybindings:
- `Alt+Escape`: Terminate the compositor
- `Alt+F1`: Cycle between windows
