I can't tell if you were aware by your comments, but in a tiling window manager you don't have to have everything visible all the time. They all have modes that hide windows behind others and allow you to swap between them the same as alt-tab. Many of them also have the option to 'float' the windows as a normal non tiling window manager would.
- kstenerud 8y agoBut then I fail to see what benefit it's giving me to be a tiling window manager?
- lfms_dotfile 8y agoThat's simply an option, because the devs recognize that not everything adheres well to a tiling workflow. It's not intended to be the primary mode of operation. I personally almost never use floating mode.
- ozzyman700 8y agoBetter default window behavior. I do not need to use a mouse with i3.
- kstenerud 8y agoThat's another point of difference, then. I love the mouse! And the default window behavior is appealing to me.
