These tools are available to both power users and programmers. Some are highly extensible and customizable. Awesome tries to fill in the gaps with what we are missing: an extensible and highly configurable window manager.

SuperPuTTY
The SuperPuTTY window manager to manage putty sessions. SuperPuTTY, a Windows-based program that manages putty terminals, is available. It also has a simple scripting language that can be used for basic tasks. It also supports RDP sessions. SuperPuTTY serves two purposes: it is a window manager and a multi-session manager for PuTTY SSH Client. It allows you embed PuTTY terminal instances within windows forms, providing a better-tabbed interface for multiple connections. SuperPuTTY supports pscp.exe for file transfers to and from remote hosts. MinTTY can start local terminal sessions, as well RDP, PowerShell and other terminal applications. SuperPuTTY doesn't do any ssh, or terminal management. PuTTY does a great job of this. As of v1.4.0.7, SuperPuTTY comes with an installer. SuperPuTTY can also be downloaded as a portable ZIP file. Simply unzip the files and place them in a desired location on your local disk.

i3
i3 is an entirely new tiling windows manager. Our code is Free and Open Source Software under the BSD License. i3 is primarily aimed at advanced users and software developers. We decided to set the following goals for I3 based on our experiences when we wanted to hack/fix Wmii. Modifiability is important, as it allows people who know how to code but are not familiar with X11's inner workings to modify the program. Document why and when things happen, so that a user can get a full picture of what a Window Manager does by reading the source code. Implement multi-monitor by assigning a virtual screen to each workspace. Make sure that the operation of attaching and removing new monitors, such as video projectors, is correct. Also, support rotated monitors.
