Client::
|

A client is X11-speak for a window.
|
||||
Tree::
|
||||
i3 keeps your layout in a tree data structure.
|
||||
|
||||
Table::
|
||||
Your workspace is managed using a table. You can move windows around and create
|
||||
new columns (move a client to the right) or rows (move it to the bottom)
|
||||
implicitly.
|
||||
+
|
||||
By "snapping" a client in a specific direction, you increase its colspan/rowspan.
|
||||
Window::
|
||||
An X11 window, like the Firefox browser window or a terminal emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
Container::
|
||||
A container contains a variable number of clients. Each cell of the table is a
|
||||
container.
|
||||
Split container::
|
||||
A split container contains multiple other split containers or windows.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Containers can be used in various modes. The default mode is called "default"

Containers can be used in various layouts. The default mode is called "default"

Workspace::

A workspace is a set of clients (technically speaking, it’s just a table).
