bspwm
An X11 tiling window manager that represents each monitor as a binary tree of split containers, so placement and resizing are explicit and scriptable. The small `bspwm` process manages windows over a socket; a separate hotkey daemon such as `sxhkd` handles keyboard input, and a shell startup script configures the session.
