![]() Some configuration also require the underlying application that is started/controlled by i3 (e.g. This file is created by i3-config-wizard at first and can be modified as wished afterwards.īe aware that changing any i3 config at least requires i3 to be reloaded (“restarted in place”) with Mod+Shift+R. The main i3 config is located in ~/.config/i3/conf. ![]() This should highlight the possibilities with i3 (in both how to operate i3 and how to configure it), which will make later configuration tasks easier by far. ![]() Be aware that if you are using an alternative keyboard layout, i3 automatically detects which keys are located at the positions that i3 would normally use – so you will be able to use the same physical keys, even if you are using a completely different layout.Īfter being aware of the basic usage of i3, skimming through the official i3 user’s guide will make sense. We strongly recommend to go through all the shortcuts in the official i3 reference card (it just takes a moment and is the core of how you will operate i3 afterwards). You can always remove the i3 config file at ~/.config/i3/config and start the wizard again using i3-config-wizard. The i3 configuration wizard starts automatically if there is no i3 configuration file yet (we recommend using Super as the mod key at this point, because Alt is used by a huge amount of applications for other tasks). In this post we summarize the i3 configuration we use atm for a quick lookup (which is partially based on Alex Booker’s videos). Alex Booker provides an excellent introduction and overview to the i3 window manager, which is divided into 3 videos: general introduction, configuration, and (visual) fine tuning.
