By definition, window managers manage windows. So, if I had not tried dwm yet, I would guess that it would not take care of spawning windows.
> sxhkd complicates the setup with little additional benefit. That's a fair point. Without noticing it I was assuming that other people also relied on a key daemon to launch programs. Since I cannot back up such a claim, I must, on second thought, agree with you. After all, in the most simple of setups (no key daemon, no launcher such as dmenu), the spawn function enables one to at least spawn a terminal emulator.
