Does anyone know the best way to get some tiling behavior in tradition DEs like Cinnamon.

Some basic things like notifications, keyboard controls for volume/brightness, sound etc don't work the best in i3wm by default and requires some fiddling on each machine to get it to work properly.

I love the out of the box behavior of my Mint installation and don't want to switch completely to something like i3wm. I could get even a watered down version tiling and stacking like i3 with keyboard shortcuts, I would be very happy. There is gTile but it doesn't quite work the same way.

Not sure about Cinnamon, which is a pet project by Linux Mint, but Gnome and Kwin offer some options these days:
