i3wm Configuration Files

Table of Contents

About

This is my personal i3wm configuration. The actual code itself is inside this one org-mode file that can be tangled from inside Emacs with the command org-babel-tangle-file. I'm using Gnu Stow to create symlinks from the files tangled in this org file into my home directory since not all the files in this repository needs to be symlinked1. i3wm.png

i3wm

The i3-wm package that I used is from the default repository in archlinux.

variables

Mostly these variables are set to avoid repetion.

  • mod key

    Mod4 is the Super key, or Win key for the rest of the world. Mod1 is Alt2. You don't have to set this variable, but by using variable, we can change the mod key without having to change each individual lines of keybindings. 

    set $mod Mod4
  • notify

    I used dunst as a desktop notification, though there's many other packages that can replace it. I prefer dunst because it's easier to configure. 

    set $notify exec notify-send -t 1000
  • refresh i3status

    The preferred status bar for i3, I like the simplicity of i3status. 

    set $refresh_i3status killall -SIGUSR1 i3status
  • navigation keys

    I use vim keys obviously. 

    set $up k
set $down j
set $left h
set $right l
  • workspaces

    I tried to have a uniformed workspaces across all my window manager configurations. Some
