Yabai setup for i3wm users

_README.md

This is a simplistic setup trying to emulate at least part of i3 behaviour on MacOS using yabai. Key-bindings are partially replicated due to the presence of MacOS built-in bindings

Start with installing (and understanding) following tools

• yabai - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai
• skhd - https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd
• stackline - https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline
