[x] Feature Request

I mostly work in maximized single window. When I open a new application, I want it occupy the whole display most of the times. Is there a way to open a new container under the root container of the same workspace when a new application is started, and make it the default behavior?

i3 version:  4.18

You could perhaps use a tabbed workspace layout.

I'm going to close this as not actionable since it's more of a question. Please also have a look at the i3 subreddit for questions since that's where most of the community is. Thanks!
