Setup

  • Install the necessary packages:

    • conky
    • dmenu
    • feh
    • terminator
    • xcompmgr
    • scrot and ksnapshot
    • alsa-utils
    • networkmanager、nm-connection-editor nm-applet
  • Clone the repo into ~/.config/i3

    git clone https://github.com/tonyho/i3wm-conky-config.git ~/.config/i3

    cd ~/.config/i3

  • Install the font i3status-conky/fontawesome-webfont.ttf

  • Get the window list jumper script

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minos-org/minos-desktop-tools/master/tools/dmenu-i3-window-jumper

  • Give the executable permission for files

    cd ~/.config/i3

    chmod +x dmenu-i3-window-jumper wallpaper.sh i3status-conky/i3status.sh

  • Setup the wallpaper and lock picture

    cp wallpaper -r ~/Pictures

    cp wallpaper/lock/lock.jpg ~/Pictures/


Keybindings

The basic key bindings is following:

Also we can use the Mod+p to jump to the opened window by searching its title

Tips

  • TeamViewer: Move it to a worksapce(Mod + Shift + N) and make it fullscreen(Mod + f)

  • ScreenShot: Use the ksnapshot launched by DMemu(Mod + d)

  • Picture Edit: Use the shutter or GIMP

  • Lock or quit: Mod + Shift + q, then press the corresponding key

  • File Explorer: Mod + e, or launch the nautilus --no-desktop . in terminal

  • Switch to terminal(Ctrl + Alt + F1~F6) to close the application:

    When an application overlay the i3 worksapce and can't switch to other workspace, and cannot close that application

  • It takes a little time to be effect when update the conky status bar configuration
