i3-config-wizard(1) | ||
=================== | ||
Michael Stapelberg <michael+i3@stapelberg.de> | ||
v4.0, July 2011 | ||
|
||
== NAME | ||
|
||
i3-config-wizard - creates a keysym based config based on your layout | ||
|
||
== SYNOPSIS | ||
|
||
i3-config-wizard | ||
|
||
== FILES | ||
|
||
=== /etc/i3/config.keycodes | ||
|
||
This file contains the default configuration with keycodes. All the bindcode | ||
lines will be transformed to bindsym and the user-specified modifier will be | ||
used. | ||
|
||
== DESCRIPTION | ||
|
||
i3-config-wizard is started by i3 in its default config, unless ~/.i3/config | ||
exists. i3-config-wizard creates a keysym based i3 config file (based on | ||
/etc/i3/config.keycodes) in ~/.i3/config. | ||
|
||
The advantage of using keysyms is that the config file is easy to read, | ||
understand and modify. However, if we shipped with a keysym based default | ||
config file, the key positions would not be consistent across different | ||
keyboard layouts (take for example the homerow for movement). Therefore, we | ||
ship with a keycode based default config and let the wizard transform it | ||
according to your current keyboard layout. | ||
