Welcome to i3,
This message is simply intended to introduce you to the basics of i3 with it's default configuration.
For further details have a look at the man page or the User's Guide which you can find at:
1.) Welcome to i3!
This message provides you with an overview of the default keybindings to use i3.
Please also make sure to have a look at the man page and the user's guide:
http://i3.zekjur.net/docs/userguide.html
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.
2.) Configuration Files
/etc/i3/config is the default configuration. It is recommended to copy it and
afterwards edit it to suit your needs (you can especially disable this message):
cp /etc/i3/config ~/.i3/config
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.
3.) Keybindings
Mod1+Enter opens a terminal which is by default urxvt
The following explanation is related to the QWERTY layout, but as the default
configuration uses keycodes instead of keysymbols for binding, you still have
to press the same keys, regardless of your keyboard layout.
Mod1+v starts dmenu
The Mod1 key is usually bound to the "Alt" key on your keyboard.
The directional keys are by default j(left), k(down), l(up) and ;(right).
Mod1+Enter opens a terminal emulator
Mod1+v starts dmenu (an application launcher)
The directional keys are j(left), k(down), l(up) and ;(right). You can also use
the arrow keys on your keyboard, if you prefer them.
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+Shift+<directional key> moves the window to the given direction,
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+f toggles fullscreen mode for the current window
Mod1+Shift+Space toggles floating mode for the current window
Mod1+Shift+q closes a window
Mod1+Shift+r restarts i3
Mod1+Shift+r restarts i3 in-place (you will lose your layout, though)
Mod1+Shift+e exits i3
For detailed information about the configuration file syntax, the keybindings which weren't mentioned
here and other features take a look at the User's Guide and the man page.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Have fun using i3
