You know how hard it is to explain personal preferences when we talk about tiling WM but, as I mentioned in my first post, I would say that bspwm offer some further granularity. I didn’t thought that was possible after using dwm but to come back to my example I have bspwm listening to the state of my media player. Everytime it becomes floating, bspwm resize the window, place it on a specific position, and add a border to it. This is just one example. Also, even though you can use it with any tiling WM, sxhkd has been developed with bspwm in mind and offers the best keybindings management I’ve ever tested. Thanks to chords, several commands can be associated to independent keybindings within the same piece of code like so:

<span style="color:#323232;">control+{_,shift+}{1-9}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   bspc {desktop -f,node -d} '^{1-9}' --follow
</span>

Control and a number will switch you to a workspace. If you also press Shift the active window will be sent to a given workspace.
