It doesn't seem very hard to implement in a keyboard only environment, but I'm not sure that the finished product would be very interesting, either. It seems like a crippled tiling window manager. The only points that made it interesting (not usable, just interesting) are lost when the touchpad is removed. I would rather stick to dwm.
