dwm alternatives (suppo.fi)

So I'm using dwm as an interface for Proxmox currently, but here's my gripes.

Config requires rebuilding.
Hotkeys seem to break for no reason*, last when I created a new user for controlling proxmox.
No real mouse controls for stuff.

Now I realize dwm is mostly a keyboard focused window manager.*

For context, proxmox runs on debian, but doesn't necessarily support everything properly (ie plasma has heavy visual glitching from something).

Commented on this twice already, so see those replies;

I'm using the web ui, I just need to use it from dwm on the same system for the initial master vm configuration.

After I have gpu-p and such configured, I can access the web ui from inside the vm.

The question was though what other options than dwm would be more fit for me, and what's available on debian/proxmox.

Because while dwm is lightweight like i3, awesome, bspwm, etc, it's not a great fit right now.
