JWM and tiling
the floating action I believe is defined by .jwmrc
You can temporarily move this to something like .jwmrc_ob
and make a new one:
https://joewing.net/projects/jwm/config-2.3.html
This is a good guide to what you can and can't do. Notice where it says that if tiling attempt fails it falls back to cascading, so you still have a functional wm while you are editing and reconfiguring/restarting jwm.
I don't use tiling because eye sight requires to have at least 60-70% on one terminal screen so I float and switch windows.
If you look at .config/jwm/keys you can modify this to match your i3 habbits, but why not install i3 as well, they are both very small. Either a dm or through editing .xinitrc you can start one or the other.

In the past, I installed xfce then i3 but later I moved to a much more minimal installation with lightdm, i3, and only the gtk2/3 and qt5 applications that I wanted. It was a lot of work but educational.
Your idea of installing Obarun JWM and i3 would simplify the installation. I wouldn't have to hunt for optional packages to improve user experience and functionality, e.g. xclip. You guys already did it.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Holy... Set Master window 65% and take a fun ;)
>Anyone have experience using JWM and tiling?
For tiling WM use DWM, Luke. Or if u didn't scared GHC and Haskell - Xmonad. I3 for noobs.

I have been using i3 for the last year. Didn't know i3 made me a n00b.
:D
In all seriousness, suckless has some nice stuff, but time is the limiting factor. Exploring suckless.org software has been on my task list but I need to complete a dozen other projects first. I do appreciate the recommendation and perhaps will bump it up on my task list.

Yep, in TiLeD world - i3 - for noobs, because the best practice - dynamic tiling. I3 didn't have a master window. So all windows are opened an full size. This is a crap. IMO, people with i3 use tmux and other hell...
And true Jedi not use any bars ;) Best practice - use notify (or analogs for Wayland (DWL/River)). This is https://ibb.co/1r2Ct2c

Whats your take on qtile?
There is nothing wrong with qtile. In fact, if you know and enjoy using python, qtile may be an excellent fit for you.
The discussion of dynamic versus static versus hybrid is only one attribute or consideration when selecting a windows manager. I evaluated dynamic window managers but didn't find any of them compelling to change from i3, but that is not to say I won't change at a later date.
Simply put, it is a matter of personal preference and do not get hung up on dynamic, static, or a hybrid.
