Keyitdev Dotfiles

The Arch Linux & i3wm dotfiles!

Showcase · Information · Installation · Cheat sheet · Support and Thankies

i3wm is very simple, old tiling window manager, but it is still powerful and highly configurable. Although it takes time and effort to configure it, but I'm very satisfied with the result.

This is the third version of my dotfiles, as I gain more experience I am able to create more profesional dotfiles.

However, if you want to check older version see v2 branch.
