# i3 config file (v4) # # Please see http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference! # # This config file uses keycodes (bindsym) and was written for the QWERTY # layout. # # To get a config file with the same key positions, but for your current # layout, use the i3-config-wizard # # Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font # is used in the bar {} block below. font pango:monospace 8 # This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left # text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango). #font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8 # Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default: # font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1 # The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and # clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old # X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap # font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays. # use these keys for focus, movement, and resize directions when reaching for # the arrows is not convenient set $mod Mod4 set $sup Shift+Mod4 set $up l set $down k set $left j set $right semicolon # use Mouse+$mod to drag floating windows to their wanted position floating_modifier $mod # start a terminal bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal # kill focused window bindsym $mod+Shift+q kill # start dmenu (a program launcher) bindsym $mod+d exec dmenu_run # There also is the (new) i3-dmenu-desktop which only displays applications # shipping a .desktop file.
