It could also be used to set the height or width in pixels.\r\n\r\nThe main use case for this would be being able to set windows to specific sizes for the floating interface. From what I understand you aim to do the tiling layout in the best way possible and i3 does a really good job of it, i3 is probably the most understandable and easy to use tiling window manager I've used."}}
