Is there a way to kill the current workspace(like in tmux)? Essentially killing all the containers inside a certain workspace.
Is that function native to i3 or would I have to use a script?
You can use focus parent until all containers are selected (just press and hold the bound key(s) for a second or two) and then kill.
As you can bind multiple commands to a key, you could also do this:
bindsym $mod+Control+Shift+k focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, kill
Add more focus parent,, if you are stacking more than ten levels deep.
Note: this may need version 4.7 to work, as previous versions threw error messages when trying to kill workspace containers.
