Introduction
KWin is the default window manager (WM) in Plasma and has lot of features, but only support floating windows. If you want to use tilling windows with a keyboard focused experience you need to use i3 (or another tilling window manager).
Installation
Before starting the configuration, you should make sure i3 or i3-gaps are installed on your system. If not use your packet manager or Discover to install one of this two packages. You should also install a compositor, because unlike KWin, i3 don't ship with an integrated compositor. I recommend the use of compton.
I3 configuration
Create a default i3 configuration
Note
If you already have an i3 configuration file (usually at
.i3/config or .config/i3/config), you can skip this step.
Open a console and type i3-config-wizard. This command open a small windows that will help you create a configuration file.
