 Description: improved dynamic tiling window manager
- Key features of i3 are correct implementation of Xinerama (workspaces are
- assigned to virtual screens, i3 does the right thing when attaching new
- monitors), XrandR support (not done yet), horizontal and vertical columns
- (think of a table) in tiling. Also, special focus is on writing clean,
- readable and well documented code. i3 uses xcb for asynchronous
- communication with X11, and has several measures to be very fast.
+ Key features of i3 are good documentation, reasonable defaults (changeable in
+ a simple configuration file) and good multi-monitor support. The user
+ interface is designed for power users and emphasizes keyboard usage. i3 uses
+ XCB for asynchronous communication with X11 and aims to be fast and
+ light-weight.

  Please be aware i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers.
