After using DWM for awhile I've grown sick of recompiling it every time I want to make a change. Is there any alts that have the same functionality?

xmonad and wmii are similar I think. I like wmii, it uses config files. "awesome" is a dwm spinoff which adds a bunch of features the suckless.org community doesn't want (like config files) and it's here: http://awesome.naquadah.org/

I found this very odd at first, but recompiling dwm and restarting is so fast that it's not a big problem. Just a few commands.
And generally, as the time goes, you edit it less and less.
I just thought you could make a one line command for doing it, and put it as an alias. Probably far from bullet proof, but seems to work :
alias editdwm="pushd share/app/dwm && vim config.h && make && sudo make install && killall dwm && popd"
pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

Do you know if fibonacci patch is going to be upgraded to support the new release?
What is an alias?

I ported it to dwm-4.6 , keeping the fibonacci.c file and posted it on the ML :
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window%2dmanagers.dwm
But I just checked the wiki page, and someone now updated it for both 4.5 and 4.6 :

These two patches add the code directly to dwm.c . But that's alright. Maybe that's even the best way finally

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

Well the thing is that I don't know much code and when it throws an error at me that I have no idea how to fix it sorta gets you just wanting to say forget it.

Btw, 4.6 is out now. But well, fibonacci is already ready for that version, so you should still be happy
