Interesting features

i3

• Automatic tiling via autotiling script. Split direction depends on the currently focused window dimensions.

• Some of wm's binds improved by Lua script. Lua has more flexibility than i3config syntax. I like to switch automatically to the appropriate workspace after opening programs using a keyboard shortcut.

• Super + ` open ssh servers menu to connect.

• Super + \ open fuzzy finder to search for local text files in the home directory to edit in Neovim.

• Automatic tiling freed up Super + H shortcut. So I'm using HJKL to navigate inside WM.

• UI scale options depends on current display setup and autorandr profile name.

Common

• Alt + f open a file manager in that directory what was found in clipboard. For example, if you copied a file from some program, you can open its directory just by pressing this shortcut.

• Neovim opens popular image formats in external viewer (pix) instead of binary view.

• Mouse side buttons bound to copy and paste in graphics applications. Although I try to use the mouse less, it's useful for (web)apps with mouse-centric UI.

• CapsLock is changed to Backspace.

• Nice aliases: i to install package, 'md2pdf' to convert markdown file to pdf, v to open Neovim.

• Not using Display Managers.

• Ctrl + m bind simplifies sequence Ctrl + l, Ctrl + v, Return to interact with file-picker dialog by selecting file from clipboard blazing fast.

• Super + P pull dotfiles from this repo and show notification with icon.
