i3-config

My awesome i3 configuration. Most things are tied into my directory tree but I've tried to utilize variables when possible (usually defined at the top as $conf).

To see how it works, you can just try it; you can also check out the tutorial and see if it is what you're looking for.

Dependencies

Though there are many, many of these things you probably already have installed and don't really make sense without them (e.g. volume w/out alsa or battery w/out acpi)

• acpi (blocks/battery)
• alsa-utils (blocks/volume, mediakeys)
• dex (.desktop autostart integration)
• feh (random_wallpaper)
• i3 (naturally)
  • i3-gaps
  • i3blocks
  • i3lock
• jq (i3-msg json parsing)
• lm_sensors (blocks/temperature)
• picom (window opacity / shadow)
• playerctl (blocks/media_player, mediakeys)
• pwdx (context_aware_dir)
• python3 (i3-msg json parsing)
  • jsonpath (context_aware_dir)
  • i3ipc (autoname_worspaces)
  • fontawesome (autoname_worspaces)
• rofi (shutdown_menu, run_menu)
• sysstat (blocks/cpu_usage)
• trash-cli (rm_wallpaper)
• xclip (sudo_paste)
• xf86-input-wacom (wacom)
• xfce4-settings (xfsettingsd)
• xfconf (cycle_mouse)
• xmacro (sudo_paste)
• xorg-xprop (autoname_worspaces)
• xss-lock (systemd lock integration)

Quick Install

# maybe backup your existing directory
mv ~/.config/i3{,.sav}

# clone into i3 config directory
git clone https://github.com/u8sand/i3-config ~/.config/i3
cd ~/.config/i3

# replace yay with your AUR/pacman wrapper, or just use pacman filtering out the aur packages
yay -S - < arch.txt
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

Credit where it is due

• autoname_workspaces.py was borrowed / modified and extended
• /blocks code I've borrowed / modified
• compton.conf was borrowed / modified
• rofi.rasi was borrowed / modified
• wacom.sh and xsetwacom_my_preferences.sh was borrowed / modified

The rest of the scripts, configuration, and bringing them all together were done over the years by myself. Feel free to use any/all of my scripts as you see fit; the way I use it is: git clone https://github.com/u8sand/i3-config ~/.config/i3 to ready my config. I may eventually extend this repository over time to address my entire arch setup; for now it's just i3.
