i3-config-wizard(1)
===================
Michael Stapelberg <michael+i3@stapelberg.de>
v4.0, July 2011
== NAME
i3-config-wizard - creates a keysym based config based on your layout
== SYNOPSIS
i3-config-wizard
== FILES
=== /etc/i3/config.keycodes
This file contains the default configuration with keycodes. All the bindcode
lines will be transformed to bindsym and the user-specified modifier will be
used.
== DESCRIPTION
i3-config-wizard is started by i3 in its default config, unless ~/.i3/config
exists. i3-config-wizard creates a keysym based i3 config file (based on
/etc/i3/config.keycodes) in ~/.i3/config.
The advantage of using keysyms is that the config file is easy to read,
understand and modify. However, if we shipped with a keysym based default
config file, the key positions would not be consistent across different
keyboard layouts (take for example the homerow for movement). Therefore, we
ship with a keycode based default config and let the wizard transform it
according to your current keyboard layout.
