    Why not try a tabbed window manager? It seems to me that grouping
    windows using tabs is a form of window management, and it makes much
    more sense to have the WM implement the necessary code for tabs once,
    rather than the various terminals, browsers, editors, file managers
    etc. re-implement them internally again and again.

    I'd recommend fluxbox if you need some windows-esque comforts, and ion
    if you fancy trying something new.
