https://github.com/directvt/vtm

This one seems to have a plethora of features. Maybe too many.
You can even create "window managers" inside a vtm session. A window manager in this case seems to act like a tiling window manager, so you can basically group your windows.
It also seems to have the "infinite desktop" concept, which means you have arbitrarily large desktop where you navigate using your viewport or you drag existing windows back to the viewport.

I'll try this some day on a virtual terminal. Just need to set font size to a minimum readable.

May want to change your subject, it is not "twm". Or am I misunderstood you?

I saw this on YouTube. Thinking to try it myself but it does not exist in ::gentoo.

Me too.
If I don't see an ebuild on ::guru sometime soon, I'll create one on my overlay. ;)
