I like the i3 tiling window manager layout that you get in Linux. Looking online, I found Moom and Slate. Slate and free and from what I can figure, is one with the most features and the most customisable. That is good. However Slate seems to have one flaw. It isn't easy to use as Moom.
Moom is really easy to use and to setup. My first introduction to it was on this video below.
I currently have Moom completely setup and using it just fine. I have no issues with it whatsoever. However on Slate, I just don't know how to get it running on Yosemite properly. Every time I restart my computer, I get an error message about not being able to run or find the .slate file, etc.
I was also wondering if there was a way to get Slate to run in the same way as i3. For instance, if I'm running an app in fullscreen and I open another app or another window, I would like the screen to be divided in between the two windows automatically & so forth. Is there a way of doing that?
Right now, I'm torn on whether to go back to Moom or just keep Slate and try to find a way to get it working.
