+i3-msg border none</tt></pre>\r

+<div class="paragraph"><p>Commands can be chained by using <tt>;</tt> (a semicolon). So, to move a window to a\r
+specific workspace and immediately switch to that workspace, you can configure\r
+the following keybinding:</p></div>\r

+<pre><tt>bindsym mod+x move workspace 3; workspace 3</tt></pre>\r

+<div class="paragraph" id="command_criteria"><p>Furthermore, you can change the scope of a command, that is, which containers\r
