Yea tmux is cool. So is dvtm, try that too. I doubt that requiring an extra keystroke will be accepted by mainline dwm, but it seems feasible to implement. I expect such a change would require a patch of dwm because i don't know how it could be done external to dwm. If you want to hire me to write that patch, let me know. See http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/keymodes for something that might be similar to what you want.
