Cagebreak is a Wayland tiling compositor based on Cage and inspired by Ratpoison. This project provides a successor to Ratpoison for Wayland. However, this is no reimplementation of Ratpoison. Cagebreak supports Arch Linux and uses the libraries and versions from extra and core at the time of release. Most other setups work with a bit of luck. You can build Cagebreak with the meson build system. It requires Wayland, wlroots and xkbcommon to be installed. Note that Cagebreak is developed against the latest tag of wlroots, in order not to constantly chase breaking changes as soon as they occur. Cagebreak is keyboard-based. Everything regarding cagebreak can be done through the keyboard and it is our view that it should be. This does not mean that pointers, touchpads and such are not available for the few applications that do require them.
