Hi, thanks for advice.
One of the big pluses is pinning an app to a workspace. When I boot, I
get two xterm windows in workspace 1, a browser in workspace 2, and my
email client in workspace 3.
That sounds interesting. At the moment I do the same at startup with
xdotool set_desktop n
and
xdotool * windowsize *
So that way I emulate tiling WM with floating one, but still have
possibility to move windows around.
A change in the config.h I highly recommend is moving the MODKEY from
Alt to the Windows key:
#define MODKEY Mod4Mask /* windows key */
This doesn't conflict with any apps I use, and it makes sense that the
window manager uses the windows key
That's a reasonable choice. I actually do the same in my environment.
W-key is probably the only way to not interact with any app. Should be
default one in my opinion.
Anyway, I've received enough recommendations to give the DWM a try.
