When I was running i3 I basically used it as a glorified workspace switcher. I ran a terminal with tmux full screen on one workspace and a browser full screen on the other. i3 let me swap between them, run a status bar with a clock and other little helpers and a launcher for when I needed some other app. The only bindings I needed to know where how to switch workspaces and how to navigate tmux and neovim.

That's pretty much where I'm at.

But I keep running into situations such as this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/145857/how-do-you-h...

where I can think of numerous hacky solutions for the job (i could use i3, or split tmux and add keybinds, or split panes in vim) and it feels unsustainable.
