Yup! We even have an FAQ entry on the reasons for not merging features without careful consideration: https://faq.i3wm.org/question/778/why-is-patch-not-merged-an...
Also, saying “it’s not that many lines of code” comparing the before and after state is too simplistic: it doesn’t include the cost of changing the existing code into the desired state, which can be a significant effort, even if the number of lines doesn’t differ much before and after. See https://github.com/i3/i3/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Astapelberg... to get an impression of how much work it was to merge gaps.
What do you think about getting alt-tab support in there? came here to say this: https://github.com/westurner/dotfiles/blob/develop/scripts/i...
What a great project. For those who are wanting something similar for macOS, the Amethyst project is pretty great https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst (meant to be more like Xmonad actually but still a tiling wm).
I use a compositor (compton/picon) to dim all windows except the active one.
https://github.com/mikelward/conf/blob/main/config/compton.c...
I didn't do a whole lot of tiling with it, mostly just added keyboard shortcuts to open or bring to the front specific applications as (at the time) I was on a Mac without an external monitor. I found I could switch between windows quickly enough that I never needed multiple visible on the screen at the same time.
https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.application.html#launchO... was the primary method, though sometimes (such as teams) I had to get more creative.
That said, I believe https://github.com/szymonkaliski/hhtwm is quite popular, might be worth a shot if you want tiling.
Do you mean currently visible desktops or windows? https://github.com/sagb/alttab is the utility of my choice to get what I wanted.
