This is really cool. Is there anything like that for Windows?

AutoIT is similar to this.

This is so well done.

I've looked at some links to examples in the wiki: https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/wiki#examples

...and Garrow Bedrossian's config: https://github.com/garrow/phoenix-configurations

...is da bomb!

Others look very good too.

Is it possible to set window 'Always on Top' with Phoenix?

I don't think this is something you can do to windows you don't own.

I spent quite a bit of time writing my configuration for Phoenix, if you're thinking about writing your own I think you might find starting from mine useful. It's easy to customize, there are gifs in the readme, and it comes packed with features, I hope you'll like it: https://github.com/fabiospampinato/phoenix

I’m really happy people are sharing these! +1

You could create a shortcut that will always focus the window easily.

If you prefer a tiling window manager that is automatic, check out https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst .

That’s nice! Does anyone already have an example to just add Windows like ALT + Tab like behavior? Thx!

I moved from MacOS to Linux for my desktop machine and still use a Macbook with MacOS on the go. I've tried chunkwm, Spectacle, and a few odd ones on GitHub. But none really come anywhere close to something like i3 on Linux if you're looking for a good window manager. MacOS is just too limited if you really want to have a predefined setup of (work)spaces and window regions.
