Limited moving of windows within a workspace (actual tiling). Moving the focus between windows on a workspace and accross workspaces by keyboard and by mouse Multiple workspaces (the i3 way -> workspace is not bound to a monitor and if no windows are left it is removed) The project's goal is to have as much of i3 as possible and also a seamless integration into the normal Windows experience. That made me start a project implementing something i3-like on Windows. WinSplit - Tiles windows using keyboard shortcuts (freeware) HashTWM - Tiling window manager with automatic tiling (MIT/X11) GridMove - Tiles and arranges windows on sophisticated layouts with hotkeys and multi-monitor support (freeware/donationware) bug.n - Dynamic, tiling window manager, which tries to clone the functionality of dwm (see list.
Nothing satisfied my need to have the same experience of i3 on Linux on Windows. Therefore the Windows applications are bypassing i3 and therefore cannot be nicely managed. Running i3 in WSL has the same limitations as running Linux in a VM as the actual Windows applications are not managed by the X11 server. Running Linux in a VM has too many limitations in a corporate environment (no nice way to access all Windows applications without crashes and big hassles) My experience with HashTWM was bad and I could not use it in an every day environment. Some other guys who have tried something like DWM ( and ). The Windows 10 defaults - horrible if you having a Linux backgroundīug.n - at least in my experience horrible as the configuration is not that intuitive/nicely documented as in suckless DWM or in i3. The answer is: yes but not in a completely satisfying way. Replying to an old thread on this sub-reddit:
