WMI (Window Manager Improved)
A historic keyboard-driven X11 tiler organised around frames that can be split and filled with clients. Its control model emphasises keyboard navigation and configurable frame behaviour, while public documentation is limited compared with maintained contemporary projects. Secondary package documentation traces wmi’s combined feature set to LarsWM, Ion, evilwm and Ratpoison.
