|
||||
It is designed to stay close to upstream i3 behavior while adding a few convenience features
|
||||
for daily use.
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration focuses on:
|
||||
The goal is:
|
||||
- Predictable tiling behavior
|
||||
- Keyboard-driven workflow
|
||||
- Minimal visual noise
|
||||
- Easy extensibility
|
||||
- Easy extensibility via simple shell scripts
|
||||
|
||||
No external theming frameworks or heavy abstractions are used.

||||

|
||||
## Concept: Application Settings
|
||||
|
||||
All user-configurable applications are defined inside the `settings/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Each file contains **only the binary name**, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
firefox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The i3 config itself handles the `exec` logic and simply reads these files.
|
||||
This keeps configuration clean and avoids hardcoding application names.
|
||||
|
||||
If an application does not exist on the system, the installer will warn the user.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- i3 (X11) based setup
|
||||
- Mouse-follow focus (focus follows mouse hover)
|
||||
- Focus follows mouse
|
||||
- Simple, readable keybindings
|
||||
- Keyboard layout switching (e.g. `ch_de` ↔ `us_workman`)
|
||||
- Window moving and resizing via keyboard
|
||||
- Minimal logout / power menu overlay
|
||||
- Multi-monitor friendly (using `xrandr`)
|
||||
- Compatible with standard i3 tools
|
||||
- Keyboard-driven window movement and resizing
|
||||
- Minimal logout / power overlay
|
||||
- Multi-monitor friendly (`xrandr`)
|
||||
- No hidden logic or frameworks

## Required Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Install the following packages on Arch Linux:
|
||||
## Required Packages (Arch Linux)
|
||||
|
||||
### Core
|
||||
- `i3-wm`
|
||||
- `i3status` or `i3status-rust` (optional, if you use a status bar)
|
||||
- `dmenu` or `rofi` (used for menus / overlays)
|
||||
- `xorg-server`
|
||||
- `xorg-xinit`
|
||||
- `dmenu` or `rofi`
|
||||
|
||||
### Utilities
|
||||
- `xrandr` (monitor configuration)
|
||||
- `setxkbmap` (keyboard layout switching)
|
||||
- `picom` (optional compositor)
|
||||
- `alacritty` or `kitty` (terminal emulator)
|
||||
- `feh` (optional, wallpaper)
|
||||
- `playerctl` (optional, media keys)
|
||||
- `brightnessctl` (optional, brightness keys)
|
||||
|
||||
### Lock / Power (optional)
|
||||
- `i3lock` or `i3lock-color`
|
||||
- `systemd` (already present on most systems)
|
||||
|
||||
Example install command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pacman -S i3-wm dmenu xrandr setxkbmap xorg-xinit
|
||||
```
|
||||
- `xrandr`
|
||||
- `setxkbmap`
|
||||
- `picom` (optional)
|
||||
- `feh` (optional)
|
||||
- `playerctl` (optional)
|
||||
- `brightnessctl` (optional)

|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||||
### 1. Clone the repository
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/MyI3Repo.git
|
||||
cd MyI3Repo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create the i3 config directory:
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Run the installer
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.config/i3
|
||||
./install.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Copy the config:
|
||||
The installer will:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ask if you want to install the i3 configuration
|
||||
- Copy the config to `~/.config/i3`
|
||||
- Ask which terminal, browser, file manager, and calculator you want to use
|
||||
- Validate that the chosen applications exist
|
||||
- Write the selected application names into `settings/*.sh`
|
||||
|
||||
If an application is not found, you will be asked again.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Log into i3
|
||||
|
||||
When starting i3 for the first time:
|
||||
- **Do NOT generate a new config**
|
||||
- Use the installed configuration
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## packages.txt
|
||||
|
||||
The `packages.txt` file contains a suggested list of packages you may want to install.
|
||||
It is intentionally not installed automatically to keep full user control.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp MyI3Repo/config ~/.config/i3/config
|
||||
sudo pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Log into an i3 session.
|
||||
If asked to generate a config, **choose NO**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- This config is intentionally minimal.
|
||||
- You are expected to adjust keybindings, monitors, and applications to your system.
|
||||
- All logic is kept inside the i3 config file for transparency.
|
||||
- No scripts are required unless you explicitly add them.
|
||||
- This configuration is intentionally minimal
|
||||
- Everything is plain text and easy to understand
|
||||
- No magic, no hidden behavior
|
||||
- You are encouraged to fork and modify this setup to your needs
