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 at i3-wm-multi-disp-scripts. - py3status and rofi are the main dependencies.
Instructions:
- Backup your i3 config!
- git clone --recursive git@github.com:sainathadapa/i3-wm-config.git ~/.i3
- Install all the dependencies
- Done!
