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
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.) Keybindings
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The Mod1 key is usually bound to the "Alt" key on your keyboard.
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
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 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 in-place (you will lose your layout, though)
|
|
Mod1+Shift+e exits i3
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
|
|
Have fun using i3
