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 [*-s* 'socket'] [*-m* 'modifier'] [*-v*] [*-h*]
== OPTIONS
*-s, --socket* 'socket'::
Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.
*-m, --modifier* 'modifier'::
Generates the configuration file headlessly. Accepts win or alt.
*-v, --version*::
Display version number and exit.
*-h, --help*::
Display a short help message and exit.
== 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.
