You're looking for EXWM then.

* https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm
* https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki
* https://github.com/johanwiden/exwm-setup

It has some nice features, such as the ability to translate
keys on a per-application basis, so that you can use familiar
keys in applications which don't support custom key bindings
(or indeed even in those which do).
