-=== Delaying exiting on zero displays
-
-Outputs may disappear momentarily and come back later. For example,
-using a docking station that does not announce the undock (e.g. ACPI Undock
-event triggered through manually pushing a button before actually ejecting
-the notebook). During the removal of the notebook from the docking station,
-all outputs disappear momentarily.
-
-To prevent i3 from exiting when no output is available momentarily, you can
-tell i3 to delay a certain time first and check available outputs again using
-the +delay_exit_on_zero_displays+ directive. Setting the value to 0 disables
-this feature.
-
-The default is 500ms.
-
-*Syntax*:
-----------------------------------------
-delay_exit_on_zero_displays <timeout> ms
-----------------------------------------

-*Example*:

+=== Sticky floating windows
+
+If you want a window to stick to the glass, i.e., have it stay on screen even
+if you switch to another workspace, you can use the +sticky+ command. For
+example, this can be useful for notepads, a media player or a video chat
+window.
+
+Note that while any window can be made sticky through this command, it will
+only take effect if the window is floating.
+
+*Syntax*:
+----------------------------
+sticky enable|disable|toggle
+----------------------------
+
+*Examples*:
+------------------------------------------------------
+# make a terminal sticky that was started as a notepad
+for_window [instance=notepad] sticky enable
+------------------------------------------------------

=== Changing (named) workspaces/moving to workspaces
To change to a specific workspace, use the +workspace+ command, followed by the
*Syntax*:
-------------------------------------------------------
resize grow|shrink <direction> [<px> px [or <ppt> ppt]]
+resize set <width> [px] <height> [px]
-------------------------------------------------------
Direction can either be one of +up+, +down+, +left+ or +right+. Or you can be
how many pixels a *floating container* should be grown or shrunk (the default
is 10 pixels). The ppt argument means percentage points and specifies by how
many percentage points a *tiling container* should be grown or shrunk (the
-default is 10 percentage points).
+default is 10 percentage points). Note that +resize set+ will only work for
+floating containers.
I recommend using the resize command inside a so called +mode+:
bindsym $mod+r mode "resize"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+*Example 2 - setting urxvt size to 640x480:*
+------------------------------------------------
+for_window [class="urxvt"] resize set 640 480
+------------------------------------------------

=== Jumping to specific windows
Often when in a multi-monitor environment, you want to quickly jump to a
