I just had a crazy idea based on this- (it's not going to be useful as is, mostly novel and potentially good)
You know how a desktop screen is fixed width and windows cannot be outside of the screen (at least in tiling), I want a single workspace for all windows, where they arrange non-ovrlappingly and screen would just be a view to a fixed point so I can scroll (quickly using hjkl) in 4 directions to look at other windows and even maybe select a group of windows and make them my current view.
Much more dynamic than i3, my current wm.

- vladvasiliu 6y agoI've never used AwesomeWM but from a brief reading, maybe it could do part of what you want: "maybe select a group of windows and make them my current view". From what I understand, windows don't belong to a workspace, but a workspace is a collection of windows having a certain tag. A given window may have multiple tags, so it can belong to multiple workspaces.

- temptemptemp111 6y agoI bet you could make a DWM patch that does that... Do report back on how you get it done - thanks! :)
