Groups-based window managers - greduan - 18-09-2016

I know of cwm, I know of @tudu's windowchef[1]. That's pretty much it.

I'm interested in all the groups-based WM, especially those that are minimal, i.e. only provide the grouping and *nothing else*.

Window position managemnt doesn't need to be part of the WM, I'd prefer for it not to be, actually :)

I do not see the difference with tags: assign a window to one or multiple tag, hide or view a tag...

Dwm is a wm that uses tags. But there also wmutils, with a group.sh in contrib...

Josuah, yeah they provide groups, but they also provide the whole window management stuff, which is more than what I'm looking for for my particular workflow. :)

But thanks
