Maybe not, if you (the OP) are on a Debian system or fork,
$ sudo apt-get --install-suggests install cwm picom
then in ~/.xinitrc, last
picom &
openbsd-cwm &
xterm # or your prefered X terminal emulator
# or whatever software you want to start
(picom makes it faster to iterate windows, it is really
noticeable so take that extra step to level up even further)
An example cwm configuration file:
# this file:
# http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.cwmrc
# https://dataswamp.org/~incal/conf/.cwmrc
color activeborder black
unbind-key all
bind-key M-p window-rcycle
bind-key M-n window-cycle
bind-key C-r restart
bind-key M-j "chvt 5"
bind-key M-l "chvt 1"
bind-key M-e "chvt 1"
(You need to do 'chmod +s /bin/chvt' for the last three lines
to work, I think. Unrelated comment added for completeness!
But note the "shell command syntax" and the
window-manager-made-up-command syntax - see man pages
openbsd-cwm(1) and cwmrc(5))
