CLFSWM FAQ

• Nothing happens when I press a shortkey

By default, all clfswm key bindings are defined without numlock activated.
You have to deactivate the numlock or you can add a '(with-numlock)' line in your configuration file.

• Problems with Java

If you got only a gray window when you are using a Java application, you can have a look at this ​Awesome FAQ page

Quick reference : set _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING to 1 as clfswm is a non reparenting window manager.

$ _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1; export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING 

This is a ​know bug with non reparenting windows managers.
