|
|
|
i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by
|
|
|
|
|
the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for the
|
|
|
|
|
mark/goto command.

|
|
The -F option takes a format string. In this string, every occurence of %s is
|
|
|
|
|
replaced by the user input.

== ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== I3SOCK

|
i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I3SOCK environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
* I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified
|
|
|
|
|
* if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11
|
|
|
|
|
property, which is the recommended way
|
|
|
|
|
* if everything fails, i3-input tries +/tmp/i3-ipc.sock+
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.
