=== 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.
