kwm

I also love i3wm but there are a few tiling window managers available on macOS [0] [1]. Not as easy to use as i3 last time I tried them however that was a while ago and they definitely deserve another shot. [0] https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm [1] https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst

There are currently 2 usable OSx tiling window managers : - KWM https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm - Amethyst https://ianyh.com/amethyst/ I stopped using Linux on the desktop before tiling WMs were a thing, and was kinda fascinated by what i read about them, as i've always seen the overlapping windows GUI idea as somewhat broken. (what's the use of a window if it's even partially hidden, appart from clutter ??) Well those 2 projets really bring tiling to osx, not just as in "resize windows with a shortcut" like spectacles, etc, but as the real i3/xmonad deal : windows are mostly managed for you, using a BSP for kwm. I use kwm, it's beta quality, it has a few issues and i spent a few evenings tinkering to wrap my head about the concepts but ... it works, and it rocks ! Suddenly I can have 10 usable windows on my dual screen setup, focus fo

There are a few window managers for macOS that do what you want. I recommend kwm. https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm

Mentioned elsewhere, but KWM may be a little more to your liking and focus follows mouse: https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm

A colleague turned me on to KWM (https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm). If forced to use a Mac again, I'll probably use that. Amethyst never quite worked right for me, and I found myself restarting Amethyst all the time to un-break something. Also, KWM has focus follows mouse.

Unfortunately kwm cannot do real focus-follows-mouse, it can only raise windows to the top. That works okay if you're using tiling mode exclusively, but with floating windows it's unusable. https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm/issues/476

Try kwm[0]. It's not perfect, but as someone who's just switched in the opposite direction, it's the closest thing I've found to i3. [0]: https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm

I've had success with kwm[0], it works more like bspwm than i3 but has been the best tiling experience I've found on OS X. (And has focus follows mouse!!!!) [0] https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm

fairly early stages, but kwm (https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm) is an OS X tiling WM that supports focus-follows-mouse.

In case anyone missed it - here's another tiling window manager for OS X that popped up a few weeks back on HN: https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm It's quite pretty: http://imgur.com/a/tWBSg

Someone already mentioned this in a comment above, but here you go : https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm/issues/8#issuecomment-166... I'm running something pretty similar, and it does look pretty good.

If you look closely it appears to be a fullscreen iTerm2 running a fancy tmux powerline. Edit: From https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm/issues/8#issuecomment-166...
