Tiling Window Managers: The Reckoning

i3 has this on by default. You just click on the divide between windows and then you can move it.

Using alt for the modifier key is pretty comfy. The only problem with this is that it conflicts with emacs. My solution to this problem is I just have mod+p switch from the default mode with all the keybinds for using i3 to a new one which has a single keybind (mod+p) for exiting it.

That's a step in the right direction, but it's just resizing. It doesn't let you move windows or do much real organization.
It's the most critical feature to give a mouse interface, because exactly resizing windows is not a keyboard-friendly activity, but it's very far from making the mouse a viable option.

So we're all in agreement that people with gaps in their tiling WMs deserve death, right?

wtf

Sorry, I thought it was part of a different reply chain. See .

I'm actually using EXWM + Spacemacs as my X11 environment at work and it's glorious. One Firefox window, a couple of Termite instances for fancy curses stuff that won't work right in ansi-term, and everything else is pure Emacs.

That's not a tiling WM in your pic, OP. That's Vim with a NERDTree file browser to the left and a minimap plugin to the right

I've used it for a few days, and it really surprised me how usable it was while taking such minimal steps to link Emacs to X. Only the key management was a bit annoying.
I can't bear using it for everything all the time but I could see myself using it for a work setup like that.

Honestly except for Zathura, pqiv, and mpv, all of which play well with EXWM, that's pretty much my home setup too. The thing that surprised me the most is how much cooler and quieter it runs compared to KDE on this machine (Skylake i7).

We can't even have OP's that don't larp. Now I bet the rustfag doesn't even know how to install the rust compiler.
