It also doesn't even have an own menu and such stuff (yet?).

On the other hand it provides lots of actions (like cycle-next,
cycle-prev, create-group, group-up, group-down, exec, ...) which may be
combined into new actions or bound to any key. That makes wmi highly
customizable.

There is also a first package available [1]here. Please test it and get
convinced of WMIs minimalism *and* high customizability. :-)
