a tiling wm doesn't imply mandatory usage of multiple monitors (I have one). Of course, ending my answer here would keep its informational value at 0, so please let me share my findings: You won't even understand it even after asking here and reading the answers :-) You have to try it for yourself and see the bright sides. all with one shortcut.Īnd because my WM has its own modifier, the shortcuts never ever clash with any other software.You won't get the answer to your question by searching. Setup is not rigid: I can still change layout, move windows between workspaces, open new terminal, resize windows, etc. I don't have that many windows at once on a single workspace: two to four windows typically. I only use the mouse for browsing: I switch between windows using shortcuts. I think that's what I liked when I tried Awesome WM: I'm sure i3 or XMonad or whatever would do too but basically it was a one-line change in Awesome to use Hyper as a modifier for all my WM shortcuts. I've got one additional modifer (hyper) that is dedicated only to the WM shortcuts and WM shortcuts are only available through this modifier. For example workspace 1 is for personal email + two terminals, workspace 3 is for Emacs + development browser + one terminal, workspace 4 for all my SSH sessions, workspace 8 for browser, workspace 9 for programs I don't use often. 
So that tiling WM and about 10 "workspaces", each with their own layout/program open, mostly all usually laid out always the same way. I'm so used to that WM I don't even remember when I switched. I'm using the (tiling) Awesome WM on Debian Linux (stretch).
