If you work with multiple monitors, give it a try (today is sunday)! It uses the monitor swapping feature from xmonad but comes with simplicity of editing the config (one doesn't need to learn new programming language to edit config). It's a pretty cool window manager.

- renke1 4y agoI've actually met the author of HerbstluftWM at the Konferenz der Informatikfachschaften (national student association meeting in computer science). Very approachable person. Coincidentally, the original author of Rack (Ruby) and the kind of inventor of tumblelogs was also there. Then again, where else would you meet people like that!
- scooble 4y agoA really fun feature of herbstluftwm that I’ve not seen replicated is that monitors are virtual and can be reconfigured on the fly, so you can have e.g. a monitor that is bigger than your physical screen, or a little virtual monitor that you can pop in and out of your screen as a kind of notepad.
