  2. DWM key bind is not working on another than EN and DE keyboard (I use SK - slovak, where on english is "1234567890" on slovak is "+木拧膷钮啪媒谩铆茅")

  3. DWMblock show time in 12 hours format, in europe everyone is using 24 (24 hours use true chads), now I dont know how to fix that (somebody tried that?)
  4. not working navigating betwen windows with arrow keys (verry useful on my X200 and X220)
  5. some Luke's aliases and scripts are not in LARBS :D (vidstab, langset ..., I have my own)

Your first problem is probably an issue with your $LANG variable. The font has all the characters you need. What is it set to?

If you want to change the date format, shift click on the module and just change it like a true chad.

I don't understand what 5 and 6 mean. Add 4 if you want it. I use left and right arrows to move monitors.

As for using a drastically different keyboard you have two options: rebind the keys yourself or boot your graphical environment with an English binding and then have a startup command switch you to another language.

I don't think he bound the arrow keys to navigate windows. Use the vim keys.

Resizing other than mod + h/l which moves resizes horizontally. You would need to patch in the ability to to resize windows that are in a layout. However, if they are floating then you just click and hold the window + mod and you can resize a floating window.

As for time, you should just be able to go the the script and change the %t that corresponds to the 12 hour time and it can use 24 hour time.

date "+%Y %b %d (%a) $icon%I:%M%p
Should be for 24 hr time
date "+%Y %b %d (%a) $icon%H:%M%p

About them not wanting to go where you want. DWM is not like i3. Remember, things are in a stack so they are moved up/down the stack.
