About the visual hint: how about doing this via a separate window
class/tag (like focused, unfocused, urgent etc.)?

Hi Stephen,
Let me rephrase your asking: If you have the focus on emacs and open an
application you want it to not resize the emacs window.
If this is correct then this is not possible in i3 without a patch or
script, there is no such thing as a sticky/protected container which can
freeze its structure and delegate it to the next container (or create a
new one if required).
Michael what do you think about such a feature ? It captures the feeling
of one property of slave/master in some other WM but still let the user
to do it when and where it wants it which fits the philosophy of i3 in
my opinion. The tricky part is the visual clue about such
containers/windows.

Hello,
I'm just experimenting with i3wm, as my first tiling manager. Is the
following possible?
Within workspace 1, I'd like to have my Emacs window on the left half of
the window, and keep it 'pinned there' to half the screen. On the right
hand half, I'd like the remaining space to be used by whatever
application (a terminal, Firefox, evince) needs it -- and those other
windows exist in e.g. tabbed mode.
What I don't want to happen is for Emacs to shrink as other applications
get added to workspace one. Does that make sense?
Thanks for a great piece of software.
