I3wm, any progress?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

That's why I was asking earlier if there were any example i3 configs 
that work well with Orca however yes.

That's also a constant with window managers, you need to set it up, i3 
isn't the worst out there, hello there xmonad for that, because....for 
some godforsaken reason, it's in Haskell, and no clue why. I3 by 
comparison, is easier to work with, so is Ratpoison
