The OP has been inactive recently, and this is a dead thread; but to answer your question, bspwm is the best tiling window manager (in my opinion). I've dabled with dwm in the past but I can't seem to get a good feel for it. I'm not scared of C, I'm just not a fan of dwm's bar. But I may get back into it since it has the ability to be edited very easily from source, and I've found some nice rices on r/unixporn.
bspwm has a good combination of in-depth configuration and support that I like in a WM. It also has a minimal size, and performs without hiccups. Bspwm uses sxhkd to manage keybindings, and I've found that it's very easy to configure, and provides the user with nearly infinite customization. Your config file can even be reloaded on the fly without the need to restart the WM due to it running as a background daemon.
You'll just have to look around when it comes to window managers. r/unixporn can be helpful since you'll be able to see peoples' configurations, with most posts having a 'dotfiles' comment from the OP containing all of their .config files.
