Small GTK script allowing for shutting down/rebooting computer from within i3 without first dropping out to the Display Manager. The script is written in Perl, and requires the Perl-GTK version 3 module to function. It also relies on systemd being used as init system.
To use, simply clone this repository, make i3exit executable and
put it in a directory in your $PATH and set up a keybind in your
i3 config file, or modify the default keybind for exiting i3:
bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec i3exit
Then install the required Perl-GTK package:
Fedora:
sudo dnf install perl-Gtk3
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libgtk3-perl
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S perl-gtk3
Finally, reload i3 with Mod+Ctrl+r and you should be good to go.
