Ace jump for i3
I think wmfocus (Github, Arch) should be what you are looking for. It describes itself as "heavily inspired by i3-easyfocus."

Problem starting application with comma flags on i3config
I use wmfocus to switch my floating window efficiently.

Switching and swapping windows with ace-jump/easymotion-like hints
I've searched around for similar tools (and this has been asked in the past in other places: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368825/select-x-windows-using-the-keyboard-like-ace-jump-hint-following-or-similar). The only tools I've found, in addition to XMonad's EasyMotion, are https://github.com/loki42/easyxmotion (mentioned in the stackexchange link) but after some quick and dirty hacks of the code (which is way over my head) I was not able to get much larger fonts nor obtain the window ID. There are also two tools that work with i3: https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus and https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus . Both give window's IDs and the last one displays large fonts with a small square background, so hints have great visibility. Both should, in principle, be window manager agnostic (https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus/issues/3 , https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus/issues/4 ), but those issues for WM-independent implementations are still open and the only existing implementations are for i3. (I played with both and looked at the code, but removing the i3 dependencies was not obvious to me ---and wmfocus is Rust, which I've never dealt with before).

Calculator for sway

Rofi dry run
Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?
-
windowrule not floating rofi
Rofi does not support wayland you should use https://github.com/lbonn/rofi
-
Starting on my first "real" rice
I think this problem can be solved using Rofi-fork-wayland.

Wofi is SO superior to Rofi
There's a rofi fork that's wayland native and works with the thousands of scripts and themes out there: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi
-
Emacs: Quickly Killing Processes
There's a patched fork of rofi that supports wayland that I'm actually using, but linked the upstream in my OP for general reference: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi#wayland-support

rofi-dekstop - A rofi powered, menu driven desktop environment
There's a rofi fork that works well in Wayland: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi You need to install this instead of standard rofi

What are the differences between bemenu and wofi?
Also, this fork of rofi … https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

dmenu not working?
There are replacements for dmenu: standard is wofi (https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi), but it has slightly less functionality (although many people live with it just fine), or there is port of rofi (https://github.com/lbonn/rofi), which is much more capable (you need this fork, the original rofi is X-only). Both of these are packaged in most Linux distributions.

is there a word-to-latex converter?
I wrote my own web based LaTeX editor I can use if I want access to my LaTeX files from a different computer, something I never would have been able to do if I hadn't learned how the pieces work together (though I actually use neovim over ssh more often).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing wmfocus and rofi you can also consider the following projects:
penrose - A library for writing an X11 tiling window manager
bemenu - Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu
i3-automark - Auto mark windows in i3
arewewaylandyet - Sources for https://arewewaylandyet.com
i3-easyfocus - Focus and select windows in i3
tessen - an interactive menu to autotype and copy pass and gopass data
xorg-choose-window - A utility for choosing from visible windows in Xorg.
rofi-pass - rofi frontend for pass
penrose - Create beautiful diagrams just by typing notation in plain text.
password-store-example - Gopass examples
easyxmotion - Jump to windows in a style similar to the easymotion vim plugin, best with tiling WMs
wtype - xdotool type for wayland
