Implementing a command to add new configuration lines to the current configuration is something I had planned for some time, but I’m not entirely sure it’s a good idea anymore. It’d kill the very clear current mapping from a configuration file on-disk to what i3 keeps in memory. I suppose we’d need a “dump current configuration” command at least.

Because the terminal is not a split container, it’s a leaf node. After you split it, you’ll be able to change the layout, but until you open more windows, you will not see any effects.
