This repository contains configuration files for the i3 tiling window manager on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm). The configuration is not intended to provide a productive or efficient window management experience. It represents my work-in-progress customization.
- Keyboard-driven window management for a fast and efficient workflow.
- Custom keybindings for various actions like launching applications, changing workspaces, and more.
- Integration with
picomfor desktop effects and transparency. - System power management options like logout, reboot, shutdown, and locking.
- i3wm
- picom
- dex (used for autostarting applications)
- Other utilities specified in the configuration file (e.g.,
i3lock,xss-lock,feh,lxpolkit, etc.)
- Clone this repository to your preferred location:
git clone https://github.com/SnowballTheLev/i3-config.git
mv /path/to/i3-config/i3/* $HOME/.config/i3/
- Review the
configfile and make any necessary customizations. - Make sure you have the required utilities installed.
- Launch the i3 window manager:
i3
- Modify and customize keybindings in the
configfile to match your preferences. - The default
$modkey is set toMod4(Super key).
- Adjust colors, fonts, and other visual settings by editing the configuration file.
- Add or modify startup applications in the
execcommands. - Customize layout and gaps according to your workspace needs.
- The configuration includes power management options (logout, reboot, shutdown, locking) bound to key combinations. These can be accessed in the mode "exit" (
$mod+Shift+e). - Desktop effects and transparency are managed using
picom. You can customize its behavior in the configuration. - The
i3baris disabled and used conky with fork of MinimalistConky configuration instead.
- Alternating Layout used in this configuration is sourced from i3-alternating-layout.
- MinimalistConky is inspired by neofetch and Minimalis Conky 2.
