config

##  awesome i3-wm configuration:


###############################################################################################
#   i3 base config:
###############################################################################################

### set the modifier key:
set $mod Mod4

### use Mouse+$mod to drag floating windows to their wanted position
floating_modifier $mod

### movement keys:

#   use these keys for focus, movement, and resize directions when reaching for
#   the arrows is not convenient
set $up     k   
set $down   j    
set $left   h     
set $right  l      

### reload / restart i3:

#   reload the configuration file and check for errors
bindsym Mod4+Shift+c reload

#   restart i3 inplace (preserves your layout/session, can be used to upgrade i3)
bindsym Mod4+Shift+r restart

# exit i3 (logs you out of your X session)
bindsym Mod4+Shift+e exec "i3-nagbar -t warning -m 'You pressed the exit shortcut. Do you really want to exit i3? This will end your X session.' -b 'Yes, exit i3' 'i3-msg exit'"

# resize window (you can also use the mouse for that)
mode "resize" {
        # These bindings trigger as soon as you enter the resize mode

        # Pressing left will shrink the window’s width.
        # Pressing right will grow the window’s width.
        # Pressing up will shrink the window’s height.
        # Pressing down will grow the window’s height.
        bindsym $left       resize shrink width 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym $down       resize grow height 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym $up         resize shrink height 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym $right      resize grow width 10 px or 10 pptbindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume 0 -- +10% && killall -SIGUSR1 i3status
        # same bindings, but for the arrow keys
        bindsym Left        resize shrink width 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym Down        resize grow height 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym Up          resize shrink height 10 px or 10 ppt
        bindsym Right       resize grow width 10 px or 10 ppt

        # back to normal: Enter or Escape
        bindsym Return mode "default"
        bindsym Escape mode "default"
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode "resize"

##  autostart / scripts:

### i3 system font:
#   used for e.g. tabbars.. not for the statusbar as far as I could tell..
font pango: Inconsolata-g 7
#   the statusbarfont will be configured further below


### powerd management

##  using gnomes power management:
#exec --no-startup-id gnome-settings-daemon
#   for ubuntu systems > 14.10 with no gnome installed but the default unity, use the following instead:
#exec --no-startup-id unity-settings-daemon # or simply don't use ubuntu.. ubuntu sucks
#   gnomes settings daemon will also take care of the gtk/qt themes, media buttons and similiar stuff..
#   it's probably the easiest way to get a lot of stuff working out of the box

##  using xfces power management:
exec --no-startup-id sleep 3 && xfce4-power-manager

##  using kde4/5 power management:
#   this one is slightly more complicated. You basically start the kde 4/5 session, using i3,
#   as window manager, which leaves you with a fully featured kde session 
#   For kde4 sstems you need to modify the startup of krunner and plasma-desktop by creating
#   some autostart files in your home folder


### hardware specific settings

#  you might be using a device with trackpoint, so here's how to disable the touchpad
#   change the prop id to the one of your touchpad
#   use 'xinput --list' to find out which props to disable
exec --no-startup-id xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0


### wallpaper:
exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-fill ~/.i3/wallpaper.jpg


### start tray applets:
exec --no-startup-id nm-applet


### lock session:
bindsym Mod4+Control+l exec ~/.i3/lock.sh


###############################################################################################
##  keybindings / default applications:
###############################################################################################


### default terminal emulator:
#bindsym Mod4+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal
#   konsole rules (e.g.: Ctrl + Shift + f):
bindsym Mod4+Return exec konsole


### launch applications:
##  start dmenu (a program launcher):
#bindsym Mod3+p exec dmenu_run
##  There also is the (new) i3-dmenu-desktop which only displays applications
#   shipping a .desktop file. It is a wrapper around dmenu, so you need that
#   installed.
#bindsym Mod4+d exec --no-startup-id i3-dmenu-desktop

##  alternatively give rofi a try (https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi):
bindsym Mod4+d exec --no-startup-id rofi -show run -sidebar-mode -terminal konsole
#   focus any window, regardless on where you left it.. pretty nice feature:
bindsym Mod4+Shift+w exec --no-startup-id rofi -show window -terminal konsole


### window management:

#   kill focused window
bindsym Mod4+Shift+q kill

#   change focus
bindsym Mod4+$left focus left

#   alternatively, you can use the cursor keys:
bindsym Mod4+Left focus left

#    move focused window
bindsym Mod4+Shift+$left move left

bindsym Mod4+Shift+Up move up
bindsym Mod4+Shift+Right move right

#   enter fullscreen mode for the focused container
bindsym Mod4+f fullscreen

#   toggle tiling / floating
bindsym Mod4+Shift+space floating toggle

#   change focus between tiling / floating windows
bindsym Mod4+space focus mode_toggle

#   move the currently focused window to the scratchpad
bindsym Mod4+Shift+minus move scratchpad

#   Show the next scratchpad window or hide the focused scratchpad window.
#   If there are multiple scratchpad windows, this command cycles through them.
bindsym Mod4+minus scratchpad show


### tiling / container management:
#   split in horizontal orientation
bindsym Mod4+Shift+v split h

#   split in vertical orientation
bindsym Mod4+v split v

#   change container layout (stacked, tabbed, toggle split)
bindsym Mod4+s layout stacking
bindsym Mod4+w layout tabbed
bindsym Mod4+e layout toggle split

#   focus the parent container

bindsym Mod4+u border none

#   define borders of new windows
new_window pixel 1
new_float pixel 1

#   window specific rules:
###############################################################################################


### enable floating for specific windows:
#   use xprop to find out windowclass:
for_window [window_role="pop-up"] floating enable
for_window [class="mpv"] floating enable
for_window [class="Arandr"] floating enable


### it's also possible to assing specific applications to specific workspaces:
#   use sth like that:
#assign [class="mplayer"] $WS6
#assign [class="(?i)pidgin"] → $WS2
