This repo contains my custom configuration for I3 tiling window manager.

Notes:

  • $mod key is Mod4 (Windows key on most keyboards)
  • A project is a set of workspaces with the format - (workspace-number)::(project-name):(somenumber). Read more at i3-wm-multi-disp-scripts.
  • py3status and rofi are the main dependencies.

Instructions:

  • Backup your i3 config!
  • git clone --recursive [email protected]:sainathadapa/i3-wm-config.git ~/.i3
  • Install all the dependencies
  • Done!
