A few weeks ago I wrote about Window Manager Agnostic Workflows, the idea that your desktop workflow shouldn't be tied to a single window manager.
I finally published the CWM configuration I use on Slackware-current as a practical example of that approach.
The repository keeps CWM focused on window management, while sxhkd, small shell scripts, and shared .xinitrc components provide a portable desktop workflow that can be reused across different WMs.
