  • frames-only-mode

    Make emacs play nicely with tiling window managers by setting it up to use frames rather than windows

  • For (2), there's frames only mode that is commonly used by tiling wm users. I think this is the one: https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode

  • bspwm

    A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning

  • I have actually never used i3 myself, but unless it has option to listen for commands from a socket, you might better be served by bspwm. It is also a tiling manager, probably does not have all or same capabilities as i3, however, option to listen for commands on a socket make it a very good candidate for integration with Emacs. Since Emacs can easily read/write to sockets, you might write a client in elisp and use it from your Emacs. Also, the partitioning algorithm used to manage windows seems to be very similar to Emacs.
