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
