I've installed Stack WM trial and I don't have a slightest idea how to use it.

    For basic usage, just launch it, select layout for each screen, and either drag windows using middle mouse button (configurable) or Win+Arrow keys on the keyboard.

    For basic settings, check the tray menu.

    Some recent features are explored in the version history.

    For creating new custom layout, I suggest just copying and modifying to your needs one of the existing layouts. There is no centralized documentation for that, but if you have specific questions, feel free to ask on the Q&A page. Generally, layouts are declared in WPF XAML (as of Stack 2.x and all versions before it), which is very powerful, and feature-rich. A comprehensive tutorial by Christian Mose is available on this site. Specifically, one would probably be most interested in its layouts-related section.

    For simple scenarios text editing should be enough. For anything more complicated for now you'd need to install free version of Visual Studio 2017, and either edit file there directly, or start Blend for Visual Studio. For more information on this, see Microsoft's official documentation.

    We have a couple of blog posts talking about how to use specific new features here.

    I would like to know how to move the focus of the windows using the keyboard? Can't find anything on the blog, and the settings in the tray don't have anything on that either.
