I did some upgrades to the box this morning. The window management is cleaner and it supports more windows in total.

The rest of my update is a reflection of sorts. I learned something interesting. It’s important to use precise language to talk about what you need. I discovered that there is an existing classification of tools characterized by a set of features that I care about. Specifically, a subset of the features of the box actually constitute an “automatic tiling window manager”. Once I had this language, Google landed me on an existing tool (komorebi) that meets the features and more! Unfortunately, the license is not permissive and it has a large footprint anyways. For now, the box integrates with an existing installation of komorebi to get the job done
