The only downside that I can see is that a system running a dedicated tiling window manager, like Sway, would use fewer system resources and be faster overall. Another big plus is that it is built on GNOME, which means that getting a tiling manager working on Ubuntu is fairly straight forward. I like the fact that you don’t have to do a lot of configuring to get it working. Final Thoughts on PaperWMĪs I have stated previously, I don’t use tiling managers. You can find the full list of keybindings on the PaperWM GitHub page. The Super key is the Windows key on your keyboard. Super + Backspace to close the active window.Super + Return or Super + N to create a new window from the active application.Super + Shift + R to resize the window (cycles through useful heights).Super + R to resize the window (cycles through useful widths).Super + C to center the active window horizontally.Super + Tab or Alt + Tab to cycle through the most recently used windows.Super + Up or Super + Downto activate the window above or below.Super + Left or Super + Rightto activate the window to the left or right.Here is a list of a few of the keybinding that preset in PaperWM: For example, if you have Wayland installed, you can use a three-fingered swipe to navigate. PaperWM also supports mouse and touchpad controls. Like most tiling window managers, PaperWM uses the keyboard to control and manage the windows. vanilla-gnome-desktop has some keybindings that raise havoc with PaperWM.
However, while this step does work in 19.10, they say that users have reported that it is not working 19.04.Īccording to the PaperWM devs, using ubuntu-gnome-desktop produces the best out of the box results. The PaperWM devs recommend that you turn off the desktop-icons extension using GNOME Tweaks tool. Ubuntu ships ubuntu-desktop by default and includes the desktop-icons package, which causes issues with PaperWM.
There are currently three different versions of the Gnome desktop available with Ubuntu: If you are an Ubuntu user, there are a couple of things that you will need to consider. The installer will set up and enable PaperWM. Use this command: git clone '' "$/gnome-shell/extensions/ :" To install the PaperWM extension, you will need to clone the Github repo.
