Welcome to i3,
|
||
|
|
This message is simply intended to introduce you to the basics of i3 with it's default configuration.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|

|
||
|
|
Configuration Files
|
||
|
|
/etc/i3/config is the default configuration
|
||
|
|
~/.i3/config is your configuration, it's recommended to copy the default one to this file and modify it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keybindings for the first steps
|
||
|
|
The following explanation is related to the QWERTY layout, but as the default configuration uses
|
||
|
|
keycodes instead of keysymbols for binding, they're still the same keys even with another layout.
|
||
|
|
The Mod1 key is usually bound to the Alt key at your keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Enter opens a terminal which is by default urxvt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+v starts dmenu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The directional keys are by default j(left), k(down), l(up) and ;(right).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+<directional key> moves the focus to the window in the given direction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+<directional key> moves the window to the given direction, containers are created on the fly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+<number> opens the corresponding workspace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+<number> moves a window to the wished workspace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+h sets the mode of a container to stacking
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+e sets the mode back to default
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+f sets a window to fullscreen and also back to default mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+Space sets a window into floating mode or back into tiling mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+q closes a window
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+r restarts i3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mod1+Shift+e exits i3
