More #i3 #i3wm tweaking! I finally understand the tree representation and each container being able to have its own layout (ie. nesting!) Hint: adding: bindsym $mod+d layout default and making use of move bindings to move windows within nested tree is awesome - see screenshot. Next I installed autotiling and set it up to be easily enable/disable-able on demand (vs per workspace). So much power and no visual distractions :)
