I want to open a programme in a floating window. I tried
exec emacsclient -c ; floating enable
, but that made the
window that was active before float, not the new window.

This is how i did it for my Galculator application:
~/.config/i3/config
To find out what goes in your class="..." and instance="...", type xprop in terminal, then click on the window you want to float. You will find the info somewhere on the bottom under WM_CLASS(STRING)="galculator", "Galculator". Instance is the left one and the class right.
