i3 is a dynamic tiling window manager inspired by wmii that is primarily targeted at developers and advanced users.[1] It is designed for X11 and written in C. It supports tiling, stacking, and tabbing layouts, which are handled manually. Its configuration is done through a plain text file, and i3 can be extended using its Unix domain socket and JSON-based IPC interface from various programming languages.[2]
Design
Similar to wmii, i3 employs a control system reminiscent of vi and Vim. By default, window focus is managed using the 'Mod1' key (either the Alt key or Windows key) in combination with the right-hand home row keys (Mod1+J, K, L, Semicolon). Window movement is controlled by adding the Shift key to this combination (Mod1+Shift+J, K, L, Semicolon).[3]
