awesome
awesome is a highly configurable, next-generation framework window manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and any people dealing with everyday computing tasks and who want to have fine-grained control on their graphical environment. A window manager is probably one of the most used software applications in your day-to-day tasks, along with your web browser, mail reader and text editor. Power users and programmers have a big range of choice between several tools for these day-to-day tasks. Some are heavily extensible and configurable. awesome tries to complete these tools with what we miss: an extensible, highly configurable window manager.

herbstluftwm
The entire configuration happens at runtime via the tool herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script that is run on startup. All configuration options, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings, can be updated live without the need to restart the window manager. Every virtual desktop (called tag) consists of a tiling and a floating layer. Windows in the tiling layer fill up the screen space and the floating windows can be placed freely above them. all monitors share the same pool of tags. You can switch the contents of two monitors with a single keystroke.

Divvy
Managing windows can be frustrating, requiring precision control of your mouse or trackpad for clicking, dragging, pushing, and pulling your windows to the size and position you desire. Even with all this work, it’s very difficult to get windows exactly where you want them, so most of the time windows are left scattered all over the screen. Divvy is an entirely new way of managing your workspace. It allows you to quickly and efficiently “divvy up” your screen into exact portions. With Divvy, it’s as simple as a single click and drag in the Divvy interface and your window will be resized and moved to a relative portion of the screen. If that seems like too much work, you can go ahead and create as many different shortcuts as you’d like that resize and move your windows. Divvy is designed to be quick, simple, and elegant. We want it to stay out of your way as much as possible while providing the most powerful window management available today.

Embed any website to the frameless window with the topmost functionality. Activation of any window on active display, main display, or where there is a mouse pointer, fast-moving of windows between displays, and hiding all windows only on active display. For multi-windows applications, when the target window disappears and you use the keyboard shortcut again, it will display a notification informing you that the window has been lost. So the user can use the fix/same keyboard shortcut to target a new window and ask the user to set a new keyboard shortcut to bring this window to the front.
