Not sure about Divvy, but I use Keyboard Maestro for window management and I don't find it to be clunky. Not sure what would be clunky about it? It's just a shortcut that moves a window? Regarding the keyboard-focused part, I mentioned that in the post, I don't think there's anything inherent about a tiling window manager that makes it more keyboard-centric than a stacking window manager? Unless I'm missing something? E.g., there are tons of ways to switch between apps and windows with the keyboard on macOS, from fuzzy finders[2][3], to directional ("select the window to the left")[4], to the built-in keys to cycle between apps and windows.

Some more macOS window managers, all free and opensource: Spectacle, Slate, Phoenix (similar to Slate) And by far my personal favorite: Mjolnir which is extensible in Lua! Also, Hammerspoon its continuation.

I'll throw Mjolnir in there too. As somebody who came from a pretty customized Awesome installation on Arch to Mac OSX, Mjolnir scratches that same itch. It allows you to completely script your hotkeys with lua, do grid based layouts, etc. https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir

Hammerspoon is forked from mjolnir https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir

Hammerspoon is a fork from https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir. Mjolnir is a hammer of Thor. So it's kinda hammer but not the same hammer and it's kinda fork, yet it's not meant to be merged back - so not really a fork. Hence the name.

I'm a fan of Mjolnir: https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir Hammerspoon is a less complicated fork of it: https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon My config: https://github.com/colindean/mjolnir-config

I use Mjolnir[1] to arrange term, Atom or IDEA windows. It's quite efficient since you can switch/resize them very quickly and you don't have to rely on your full-screen-IDE's embedded terminal for console output. [1] https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir

Hmm, do you have a source for that? (That Mjolnir isn't being developed). I just checked https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir, and I don't see any mention of this, and the last commit was from November 15.

I posted this yesterday in the thread about the Rust-written window manager, but it's relevant here as well. There are plenty of apps that provide varying levels of window-manager functionality to OS X. I would try a couple out and see which feels right to you. I have tried most of them, and personally prefer Moom. http://manytricks.com/moom/ http://mizage.com/divvy/ http://ianyh.com/amethyst/ http://spectacleapp.com/ https://github.com/fjolnir/xnomad https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580?m.... https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir

Optimal Layout[1] works pretty well as a tiling window manager (or close enough) for OS X. I've been using it as an essential part of my workflow for 2+ years. I also make heavy use of emacsclient and tmux[2] sessions and windows in conjunction with iTerm2[3]. When I have some time to experiment, I'd like to look at replacing Optimal Layout with mjolnir[4] or one of the similar tools listed in mjolnir's README, under Mjolnir vs. other apps.[5] Amethyst[6] looks like another option worthy of consideration.

There's a lot of different window managing tools on OS X. I personally use Optimal Layout, but there's a number of open source ones as well, such as Slate [1] (which unfortunately hasn't been updated in a while), Mjolnir (nee Hydra) [2], and Spectacle [3]. Both of the last two were updated a few months ago. Spectacle is a bit easier to use than Mjolnir, but it looks like Mjolnir is more flexible. In comparing Mjolnir to things like Divvy, the Readme states: "Mjolnir is intended for programmers who want to write programs that customize their environment. It's not intended to be a drag-n-drop solution; it's meant to allow you to write your own personalized productivity enhancement suite to keep and to use long-term."
