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 about this at i3-project-focus-workflow.
  • i3blocks and rofi are the dependecies.

Instructions:

  • Backup your i3 config!
  • git clone --recursive git@github.com:sainathadapa/i3-wm-config.git ~/.i3
  • Install rofi
  • Install i3blocks
  • Done!
