These are all the tools you need to use the i3 window manager efficiently. Package: i3-wm Architecture: any Priority: optional Section: x11 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: an improved dynamic tiling window manager Key features of i3 are correct implementation of Xinerama (workspaces are assigned to virtual screens, i3 does the right thing when attaching new monitors), XrandR support (not done yet), horizontal and vertical columns (think of a table) in tiling. Also, special focus is on writing clean, readable and well documented code. i3 uses xcb for asynchronous communication with X11, and has several measures to be very fast. . Please be aware i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers and that you're currently trying an alpha version (which may contain bugs).
