| Mate... I will tell you that the one that I find have the easier learning curve is AwesomeWM. The main advantage of it tho, is not the tiling window managing facilities... But the run-or-raise plugin. It allows you to run (start) or raise (go to the window) of any application with an assigned shortcut. Mine are:
Mod+e - Emacs
Mod+u - Browser (Conkeror)
Mod+y - Browser (Chromium)
Mod+k - Konsole
Mod+. - Keepass
Mod+x - Pidgin chat window
Mod+i - Skype chat window The choice of shortcuts may seen arbitrary, but I'm a Dvorak user and all the keys are easily accessible. With this setup, from my editor I'm a Mod+u / Ctrl+g g to a search on google, and from there I'm a Mod+k from my terminal (from where I run tmux... ;P) and a Mod+e from Emacs. I'm also using a dropdown terminal with another tmux where I have access, from any where on my system just pressing F1, to my MTA (mutt), file manager (mc), IRC (irssi), Music player (cmus) and a root shell. Honestly... With this setup there is definetly no going back... Every thing on the tips of my fingers... Some shortcut away. I almost feel part of the machine! :) |
