I love the idea of tiling window managers, but they really break down with the CAD tools I use. Any program that involves multiple contexts of the same information will probably suffer. (In my case, command, schematic & layout views)
- zeveb 11y agostumpwm does have a floating-windows mode for that, but in principle one could set up splits to support most sane multi-window apps.
- sliverstorm 11y agoI used to use i3m & dwm, but wound up spending almost all my time in floating-windows mode, and decided that was silly. I was never able to come up with good splits. It's been years so I forget the details, but I think the problem was: - On one monitor, these programs work best overlapped on the corners to have usable window sizes. Side-by-side or vertically stacked doesn't work. - On two monitors, dual monitor support was not very robust so I couldn't leverage the two monitors well. My case was particular in that I was logged in via a remote desktop program, and the WM insisted on treating it as one really wide screen.
