I’ve been using LabWC (a stacking or floating window manager) as if it was a tiling window manager – I have almost a dozen hotkeys reserved just to push windows to different regions of the screen – the four halves, the four quarters, and a set of three for the main workspace: right two-thirds for browser, upper-left sixth for cmus and lower-left sixth for ~/downloads

generally I’vbe been using the ‹Win› key (for ‹Win›dow manager instead of MS ‹Win›dows) – despite Linux gatekeepers, at least people know what key I’m referring to – but it doesn’t help that everyone (including every window manager) refers to key differently – I’ve seen ‹Win›, ‹Sys›, ‹Meta›, ‹Mod›, ‹mod4›, ‹Code›, ‹GUI›, ‹Cmd› – keycaps have used ‹Meta› as an alternative to ‹Menu›, nano and emacs use ‹Meta› to mean ‹Alt› while emacs’ ‹Alt› doesn’t refer to the ‹Alt› key on the keyboard
