On: I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager

> it is ultimately quite silly that you need to use special URL schemes and workflows to open a text file across different apps.

Curious what you mean by this? Which additional mechanism does Linux (or i3?) have for opening a text file between apps?

[Out_of_Characte → robenkleene]

There is no additional mechanism, You just open text files as many times as you want with any program. (Unless I misunderstand the parent comments)

[yoz-y → Out_of_Characte]

I think the confusion comes from the fact that the sentence mentions both macOS and iOS, whereas url schemes are an iOS-only concept.

[robenkleene → yoz-y]

Got it yeah, this is probably why I was confused. URL schemes are the only way to do a lot of things on iOS, whereas (as far as I know) they're additive to the *nix ways of doing things on the Mac.
