    There exists an experimental patch for i3 that does this, so maybe it's worth looking into that. I'm afraid we won't see this in either i3 or sway for a long time though.
  • Showing a window on several workspaces?

    For floating windows, as others pointed out, stickiness is a good answer. For tiled windows things become naturally more complicated. A long time ago I prototyped i3-sticky, feel free to check it out – but an actual "product" would have to be built out of this to be really usable, I think.
