Orbment is modular compositor for Wayland with flexible plugin architecture where plugins may co-operate with each other. The core consist of small code base which provide plugin management, and hooks api for plugins. Core plugins are used to provide functionality you would expect from bare bones tiling window manager.

KEYBOARD LAYOUT
You can set your preferred keyboard layout using XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT.
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb orbment
RUNNING ON TTY
If you have logind, you can just run orbment normally.
Without logind you need to suid the orbment binary to root user.
The permissions will be dropped runtime.
BUILDING
See wlc documentation for dependencies.
You can build bootstrapped version of orbment which also includes wlc with the following steps.
git submodule update --init --recursive # - initialize and fetch submodules
mkdir target && cd target # - create build target directory
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Upstream -DSOURCE_WLC=ON .. # - run CMake
make # - compile
# You can now run
./src/orbment
If built in Debug mode, ./plugins is added to plugin search paths, and you can run orbment straight
from the build directory and it will find the core plugins. This is useful for testing development version,
bootstrapping or developing plugins.
PACKAGING
For now you can look at the AUR recipe for a example.
CONTRIBUTING
