I've tried using i3-likes on MacOS but the lack of a mod key is really hurting usability for me. Also, they tend to not be like dwm where each screen has its own virtual desktops, which is not how I'm used to work.

in rift each screen/space has its own virtual workspace manager so they are fully isolated from eachother!

I use aerospace combined with karabiner, the latter of which allows me to set caps lock - a key I never really use, to meh & hyper. Worth checking out if youre missing a mod key
