I3-CONFIG-WIZARD(1)                i3 Manual               I3-CONFIG-WIZARD(1)


NAME

       i3-config-wizard - creates a keysym based config based on your layout


SYNOPSIS

       i3-config-wizard


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.
