 ====== bspwm ======
+bspwm is a tiling window manager. Without configuration it does absolutely nothing, except showing a black screen. bspwm itself has no support for keybindings. It is controlled with the client program bspc.
+You may want to run a seperate  hotkey daemon to implement keybindings. Most of the time this is the program sxhkd.
+Initially you have to install the default configuration  in your home config directory
+<code>
+$ install -Dm755 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/bspwmrc ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc
+$ install -Dm644 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/sxhkdrc ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
+</code>
+The most important default keybindigs are:
+  * Super+Enter: open a new terminal (default: urxvt)
+  * Super+Alt+q: Quit bspwm
+  * Super+m: switch between tiled and monocle layout
+  * Super+s: floating layout
+  * Super+f: fullscreen
+The concept of bspwm takes some getting used to. The sxhkd config file is fairly understandable, so an user with some Linux/Unix knowledge should have no problems.

+Because bspwm will most certainly run together with a hotkey daemon, we list bspwm and sxhks
