Users in need of a manual tiling Window Manager solution for the X window system

About herbstluftwm

The entire configuration happens at runtime via the tool herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script that is run on startup. All configuration options, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings, can be updated live without the need to restart the window manager. Every virtual desktop (called tag) consists of a tiling and a floating layer. Windows in the tiling layer fill up the screen space and the floating windows can be placed freely above them. all monitors share the same pool of tags. You can switch the contents of two monitors with a single keystroke.
