i3/CMDMODE

---------------------
- Command mode
---------------------

This is the grammar for the command mode (your configuration file uses these commands, too).

left  := <h> | <cursor-left>
right := <l> | <cursor-right>
up    := <j> | <cursor-up>
down  := <k> | <cursor-down>

where := <left|right|up|down> | <tag>
move  := <m>
snap  := <s>

cmd     := [ <times> ] [ <move> | <snap> ] <where>
with    := <w> { [ <times> ] <where> }+ <space> <cmd>
jump    := [ "<window class>[/<window title>]" | <workspace> [ <column> <row> ] ]
focus   := focus [ <times> | floating | tiling | ft ]
(travels the focus stack backwards the given amount of times (by default 1), so
 it selects the window which had the focus before you focused the current one when
 specifying "focus 1".
 The special values 'floating' (select the next floating window), 'tiling'
 (select the next tiling window), 'ft' (if the current window is floating,
 select the next tiling window and vice-versa) are also valid)
special := [ exec <path> | kill | exit | restart ]

input := [ <cmd> | <with> | <jump> | <focus> | <special> ]

you can cancel command mode by pressing escape anytime.

Some examples:

Select the window on the left:
h

Select the window two places on the left:
2h

Move window to the right:
ml

Move window and window on the bottom to the right:
wk ml
