=== Implicit containers
In some cases, i3 needs to implicitly create a container to fulfill your
command.
One example is the following scenario: You start i3 with a single monitor and a
single workspace on which you open three terminal windows. All these terminal
windows are directly attached to one node inside i3’s layout tree, the
workspace node. By default, the workspace node’s orientation is +horizontal+.
Now you move one of these terminals down (+mod+k+ by default). The workspace
node’s orientation will be changed to +vertical+. The terminal window you moved
down is directly attached to the workspace and appears on the bottom of the
screen. A new (horizontal) container was created to accomodate the other two
terminal windows. You will notice this when switching to tabbed mode (for
example). You would end up having one tab called "another container" and the
other one being the terminal window you moved down.
