Multiplexing general windows similar to terminator

[Mihai Darius]

Hi,
Well, from what I see, fluxbox is using a tabbed view, instead of a tiled (side-by-side) one, and that is not what I really wanted.However, if i3wm does indeed provide support for floating tiled windows (sorry for not using the correct naming for them before),my implementation idea does indeed seem to be redundant and complicating it further to provide some improvements wouldfurther increase the workload required and reduce my chances of success.
Thank you for your advice,Darius

Hi Darius,

i3wm still gives you windows, but I think the word you are looking for
is "floating". i3 offers floating window support that is automatically
used for things like "save as" dialogs and such, see [1] for the entry
in the guide that also tells you what key combination you can use to
toggle any window floating or tiled.

I'm still convinced that fluxbox can be what you need, so maybe you just
didn't see this page [2] on the website that has screenshots of what I mean?

Hope that helps!
