Bernhard, I suggest you try exploring the i3 way some more and then decide
if its right for you. At this point you can basically see every
libre wm as materially opinionated, and it doesn't make sense to stick to
one that doesn't agree with your idea of a workflow.
Hi John,
I already explorded i3 and I like it. For _me_ it is lacking this feature
(and some other). I can self decide what I use and what not. I am also able
to implement the missing features myself. As I always do when I implement
something I try to share it and ask the mainline people how to implement it
better because in my experience the mainline people allways knows their code
best.
I didn't mean to imply that you're approach is unreasonable, only that it
does not seem to fit into the usage model and philosophy of i3. In such a
case, perhaps there is a more appropriate wm out there. Then again, as you
say, perhaps not.
That said, I am just as interested in how you are interfacing, given that
you like i3 but would seem to like it to be more mouse-centric, as I am in
the research that Michael mentioned earlier. I for one do not believe in
there being 'only one way to do it' for HID and am always curious about
encountering new diversity.
So I will stick to i3 + patches :)
Please consider sharing your patches back out to the community. I certainly
wasn't intending to engage in flaming in any way, and I don't think
flamewars will erupt if you publish you patches.
