Why customize? I love the window management with i3 and productivity that comes with associating certain applications to windows (now workspaces), and I've mostly setup i3 but am still figuring some things out. Also because I've spent the past week tweaking i3 when I should be studying for interviews... Hopefully by using these tweaks, it will improve your workflow and boost productivity.
To mimic i3 windows where you have to press Super + 1 to go to Window 1 etc.
