A plan for a temporary initial implementation of AquariWM

[Antikyth]

Currently, AquariWM has no code. While the following ideas are fundamentally not how AquariWM is designed, I think you've got to start somewhere, and this is a straightforward start that should reveal more about how the project should go about implementing its real ideas.

The first implementation idea...

The first development goal of AquariWM is to get something up and running. While this is not going in the same direction as the design of AquariWM requires, it will be a good reference as to how the core of the window manager will work.

To start, the project will implement very basic but functional features: floating-only, with the ability to move windows around, resize windows, focus windows, and toggle fullscreen for windows. This will mean I can learn more about how communicating with X works internally, how to react to events, how to use keybinds, and how to manipulate windows. To provide a clearer goal, the project will implement the following keybinds for these actions:

• super + left mouse button drag - move window
• super + right mouse button drag - resize window
• super + F - toggle fullscreen
• hover with cursor over window - focus window

P.S.

I am primarily creating this discussion so that I have something to reference, but please feel free to share your thoughts and discuss this here... remember that this is very temporary!
