Re:Show HN: Stack: tiling WM for Windows

I think some things are already available:
- moving windows around is done with Win+Arrow key
- if you want to bring a new terminal with a hotkey, you can just assign one in shortcut properties (that's a Windows feature). Once automation feature is implemented, that terminal will behave similarly (or better than i3).
- sounds like Ctrl + d is basically Win key on Windows, that brings up start menu with integrated search
- virtual screens are already available on Windows 10, and there are hotkeys
- maximizing a window already has a hotkey in Windows 10 as well - Win + Up. Currently, Stack overrides that hotkey though
- hjkl sounds possible, however, I'd like to avoid modes, so they'll have to be used with modifiers
I will see what I can do to make it possible to run similarly to i3.
