Note well: mcwm is in maintenance mode and mostly dead. Since 2013 I use X only sparingly.
mcwm is a minimalist window manager for the X Window System written from scratch in C directly on top of XCB. It is a traditional floating window manager with a lot of features but without the bloat.
In mcwm all functions, including move and resize, are available from the keyboard but a pointing device can be used for move, resize and raise/lower.
Development has mostly stopped but the repo is here:
https://codeberg.org/mchack/mcwm
There used to be a mailing list at mcwm (at) list.hack.org.
