Dotfiles for i3+urxvt with minimal dependencies.

Main files

Move the following files to ~:

  • .Xdefaults
  • .xinitrc

Move the following file to .config/i3/config or wherever the i3 config file lives:

  • i3config

Common fixes

Stop middle mouse button pasting from clipboard

Install xbindkeys, and put .xbindkeysrc in ~.

Uncomment the xbindkeys line in .xinitrc.

Brightness keys

Install xev. Run xev and press the key you want to use to set brightness to min. TODO

Volume keys

Install amixer for Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute keys on most keyboards.

Screenshot with PrintSc key

Install scrot. Pressing PrintSc will let you select an area. Screenshot will be saved to ~.

Nicer font

Install Input Mono font. Good luck. Then uncomment the lines mentioning Input Mono in the i3 config and .Xdefaults.

Terminal font size

Cannot be adjusted for open terminal windows, but to open a "large-print" terminal press $mod+Ctrl+Return.

Set for all urxvt windows in .Xdefaults.
