Overview

This is my config for i3wm, the tiling window manager I have running on Ubuntu. Some of the config files, however, may be used on GNU/Linux systems that don't have i3wm, such as the compton config and the rofi config. Note

  • $mod key is Mod1 (Alt on most keyboards)
    • change this to Mod4 for Windows key on most keyboards
  • capslock is configured to act as backspace
    • delete line 221 in the config file if you don't want this admittedly odd configeration
  • the i3wm default j-k-l-; movement keys are configured to the more Vim-familiar h-j-k-l
