1 ===================
2 Michael Stapelberg <[email protected]>
3 v4.0, July 2011
4
5 == NAME
6
7 i3-config-wizard - creates a keysym based config based on your layout
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 i3-config-wizard [*-s* 'socket'] [*-m* 'modifier'] [*-v*] [*-h*]
12
13 == OPTIONS
14
15 *-s, --socket* 'socket'::
16 Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.
17
18 *-m, --modifier* 'modifier'::
19 Generates the configuration file headlessly. Accepts win or alt.
20
21 *-v, --version*::
22 Display version number and exit.
23
24 *-h, --help*::
25 Display a short help message and exit.
26
27 == FILES
28
29 === /etc/i3/config.keycodes
30
31 This file contains the default configuration with keycodes. All the bindcode
32 lines will be transformed to bindsym and the user-specified modifier will be
33 used.
34
35 == DESCRIPTION
36
37 i3-config-wizard is started by i3 in its default config, unless ~/.i3/config
38 exists. i3-config-wizard creates a keysym based i3 config file (based on
39 /etc/i3/config.keycodes) in ~/.i3/config.
40
41 The advantage of using keysyms is that the config file is easy to read,
42 understand and modify. However, if we shipped with a keysym based default
43 config file, the key positions would not be consistent across different
44 keyboard layouts (take for example the homerow for movement). Therefore, we
45 ship with a keycode based default config and let the wizard transform it
46 according to your current keyboard layout.

5 == NAME
6
7 i3-dump-log - dumps the i3 SHM log
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 i3-dump-log [-s <socketpath>] [-f]
12
13 == DESCRIPTION
14
15 Debug versions of i3 automatically use 1% of your RAM (but 25 MiB max) to store
16 full debug log output. This is extremely helpful for bugreports and
17 figuring out what is going on, without permanently logging to a file.
18
19 With i3-dump-log, you can dump the SHM log to stdout.
20
21 The -f flag works like tail -f, i.e. the process does not terminate after
22 dumping the log, but prints new lines as they appear.
23
24 == EXAMPLE

0 i3-input(1)
1 ===========

3 v4.1.2, April 2012
4
5 == NAME
6
7 i3-input - interactively take a command for i3 window manager
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]
12
13 == DESCRIPTION
14
15 i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by
16 the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for the
17 mark/goto command.
18
19 You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands.
20
21 == OPTIONS
22
23 -s <socket>::
24 Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this
25 option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own).
26
27 -F <format>::
28 Every occurrence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input,
29 and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value is "%s".
30
31 -l <limit>::
32 Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters.
33 i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user input reaches that
34 length.
35
36 -P <prompt>::
37 Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field.
38 The prompt string is not included in the user input/command.
39
40 -f <font>::
41 Use the specified X11 core font (use +xfontsel+ to chose a font).
42
43 -v::
44 Show version and exit.
45
46 == EXAMPLES
47
48 Mark a container with a single character:
49 ------------------------------------------------
50 i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '
51 ------------------------------------------------
52
53 Go to the container marked with above example:
54 -----------------------------------------------------
55 i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Go to: '
56 -----------------------------------------------------
57
58 == ENVIRONMENT
59
60 === I3SOCK
61
62 i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:
63
64 * I3SOCK environment variable
65 * I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified
66 * if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11
67 property, which is the recommended way
68 * if everything fails, i3-input tries +/tmp/i3-ipc.sock+
69
70 The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.

5 == NAME
6
7 i3-migrate-config-to-v4 - migrates your i3 config file
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 -------------------------------------------------------
12 mv ~/.i3/config ~/.i3/old.config
13 i3-migrate-config-to-v4 ~/.i3/old.config > ~/.i3/config
14 -------------------------------------------------------
15
16 == DESCRIPTION
17
18 i3-migrate-config-to-v4 is a Perl script which migrates your old (< version 4)
19 configuration files to a version 4 config file. The most significant changes
20 are the new commands (see the release notes).
21
22 This script will automatically be run by i3 when it detects an old config file.
23 Please migrate your config file as soon as possible. We plan to include this
24 script in all i3 release until 2012-08-01. Afterwards, old config files will no
25 longer be supported.

3 v4.2, August 2012
4
5 == NAME
6
7 i3-msg - send messages to i3 window manager
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 i3-msg [-q] [-v] [-h] [-s socket] [-t type] [message]
12
13 == OPTIONS
14
15 *-q, --quiet*::
16 Only send ipc message and suppress the output of the response.
17
18 *-v, --version*::
19 Display version number and exit.
20
21 *-h, --help*::
22 Display a short help-message and exit.
23
24 *-s, --socket* 'sock_path'::
25 i3-msg will use the environment variable I3SOCK or the socket path
26 given here. If both fail, it will try to get the socket information
27 from the root window and then try /tmp/i3-ipc.sock before exiting
28 with an error.
29
30 *-t* 'type'::
31 Send ipc message, see below. This option defaults to "command".
32
33 *-m*, *--monitor*::
34 Instead of exiting right after receiving the first subscribed event,
35 wait indefinitely for all of them. Can only be used with "-t subscribe".
36 See the "subscribe" IPC message type below for details.
37
38 *message*::
39 Send ipc message, see below.
40
41 == IPC MESSAGE TYPES
42
43 command::
44 The payload of the message is a command for i3 (like the commands you can bind
45 to keys in the configuration file) and will be executed directly after
46 receiving it.
47
48 get_workspaces::
49 Gets the current workspaces. The reply will be a JSON-encoded list of
50 workspaces.
51
52 get_outputs::
53 Gets the current outputs. The reply will be a JSON-encoded list of outputs (see
54 the reply section of docs/ipc, e.g. at
55 https://i3wm.org/docs/ipc.html#_receiving_replies_from_i3).
56
57 get_tree::
58 Gets the layout tree. i3 uses a tree as data structure which includes every
59 container. The reply will be the JSON-encoded tree.
60
61 get_marks::
62 Gets a list of marks (identifiers for containers to easily jump to them later).
63 The reply will be a JSON-encoded list of window marks.
64
65 get_bar_config::
66 Gets the configuration (as JSON map) of the workspace bar with the given ID. If
67 no ID is provided, an array with all configured bar IDs is returned instead.
68
69 get_binding_modes::
70 Gets a list of configured binding modes.
71
72 get_version::
73 Gets the version of i3. The reply will be a JSON-encoded dictionary with the
74 major, minor, patch and human-readable version.
75
76 get_config::
77 Gets the currently loaded i3 configuration.
78
79 send_tick::
80 Sends a tick to all IPC connections which subscribe to tick events.
81
82 subscribe::
83 The payload of the message describes the events to subscribe to.
84 Upon reception, each event will be dumped as a JSON-encoded object.
85 See the -m option for continuous monitoring.
86
87 == DESCRIPTION
88
89 i3-msg is a sample implementation for a client using the unix socket IPC
90 interface to i3.
91
92 === Exit status:
93
94 0:
95 if OK,
96 1:
97 if invalid syntax or unable to connect to ipc-socket
98 2:
99 if i3 returned an error processing your command(s)
100
101 == EXAMPLES
102
103 ------------------------------------------------
104 # Use 1-px border for current client
105 i3-msg "border 1pixel"
106
107 # You can leave out the quotes
108 i3-msg border normal
109
110 # Dump the layout tree
111 i3-msg -t get_tree
112
113 # Monitor window changes
114 i3-msg -t subscribe -m '[ "window" ]'
115 ------------------------------------------------
116
117 == ENVIRONMENT
118
119 === I3SOCK
120
121 If no ipc-socket is specified on the commandline, this variable is used
122 to determine the path, at which the unix domain socket is expected, on which
123 to connect to i3.

12
13 == OPTIONS
14
15 *-v, --version*::
16 Display version number and exit.
17
18 *-h, --help*::
19 Display a short help-message and exit.
20
21 *-t, --type* 'type'::
22 Display either a warning or error message. This only changes the color scheme
23 for the i3-nagbar. Default: error.
24
25 *-m, --message* 'message'::
26 Display 'message' as text on the left of the i3-nagbar.
27
28 *-f, --font* 'font'::
29 Select font that is being used.
30
31 *-b, --button* 'button' 'action'::
32 Create a button with text 'button'. The 'action' are the shell commands that
33 will be executed by this button. Multiple buttons can be defined.
34 Will launch the shell commands inside a terminal emulator, using
35 i3-sensible-terminal.
36
37 *-B, --button-no-terminal* 'button' 'action'::
38 Same as above, but will execute the shell commands directly, without launching a
39 terminal emulator.
40
41 == DESCRIPTION
42
43 i3-nagbar is used by i3 to tell you about errors in your configuration file
44 (for example). While these errors are logged to the logfile (if any), the past
45 has proven that users are either not aware of their logfile or do not check it
46 after modifying the configuration file.
47
48 == EXAMPLE
49
50 ------------------------------------------------
51 i3-nagbar -m 'You have an error in your i3 config file!' \

14
15 i3-sensible-terminal is invoked in the i3 default config to start a terminal.
16 This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent

12
13 == OPTIONS
14
15 -a::
16 Disables autostart.
17
18 -c::
19 Specifies an alternate configuration file path.
20
21 -C::
22 Check the configuration file for validity and exit.
23
24 -d all::
25 Enables debug logging.
26 The 'all' parameter is present for historical reasons.
27
28 -v::
29 Display version number (and date of the last commit).
30
31 -V::
32 Be verbose.
33
34 --force-xinerama::
35 Use Xinerama instead of RandR. This option should only be used if you are stuck
36 with the old nVidia closed source driver (older than 302.17) which does not
37 support RandR.
38
39 --get-socketpath::
40 Retrieve the i3 IPC socket path from X11, print it, then exit.
41
42 --shmlog-size <limit>::
43 Limits the size of the i3 SHM log to <limit> bytes. Setting this to 0 disables
44 SHM logging entirely. The default is 0 bytes.
45
46 == DESCRIPTION
47
48 === INTRODUCTION
49
50 i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn’t
51 provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had
52 some bugs, didn’t progress since quite some time and wasn’t easy to hack at all
53 (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the
54 wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to
55 create i3.
56
57 Please be aware that i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers.
58
59 === IMPORTANT NOTE TO nVidia BINARY DRIVER USERS
60
61 If you are using the nVidia binary graphics driver (also known as 'blob')
62 before version 302.17, you need to use the +--force-xinerama+ flag (in your
63 ~/.xsession) when starting i3, like so:
64
65 ----------------------------------------------
66 exec i3 --force-xinerama -V >>~/.i3/i3log 2>&1
67 ----------------------------------------------
68
69 See also docs/multi-monitor for the full explanation.
70
71 === TERMINOLOGY
72
73 Tree::
74 i3 keeps your layout in a tree data structure.
75
76 Window::
77 An X11 window, like the Firefox browser window or a terminal emulator.
78
79 Floating Window::
80 A window which "floats" on top of other windows. This style is used by i3 to
81 display X11 windows with type "dialog", such as the "Print" or "Open File"
82 dialog boxes in many GUI applications. Use of floating windows can be
83 fine-tuned with the for_window command (see HTML userguide).
84
85 Split container::
86 A split container contains multiple other split containers or windows.
87 +
88 Containers can be used in various layouts. The default mode is called "default"
89 and just resizes each client equally so that it fits.
90
91 Workspace::
92 A workspace is a set of containers. Other window managers call this "Virtual
93 Desktops".
94 +
95 In i3, each workspace is assigned to a specific virtual screen. By default,
96 screen 1 has workspace 1, screen 2 has workspace 2 and so on… However, when you
97 create a new workspace (by simply switching to it), it’ll be assigned the
98 screen you are currently on.
99
100 Output::
101 Using XRandR, you can have an X11 screen spanning multiple real monitors.
102 Furthermore, you can set them up in cloning mode or with positions (monitor 1
103 is left of monitor 2).
104 +
105 i3 uses the RandR API to query which outputs are available and which screens
106 are connected to these outputs.
107
108 == KEYBINDINGS
109
110 Here is a short overview of the default keybindings:
111
112 Mod1+Enter::
113 Open a new terminal emulator window.
114
115 Mod1+d::
116 Open dmenu for starting any application by typing (part of) its name.
117
118 j/k/l/;::
119 Direction keys (left, down, up, right). They are on your homerow (see the mark
120 on your "j" key). Alternatively, you can use the cursor keys.
121
122 Mod1+<direction>::
123 Focus window in <direction>.
124
125 Mod1+Shift+<direction>::
126 Move window to <direction>.
127
128 Mod1+<number>::
129 Switch to workspace <number>.
130
131 Mod1+Shift+<number>::
132 Move window to workspace <number>.
133
134 Mod1+f::
135 Toggle fullscreen mode.
136
137 Mod1+s::
138 Enable stacking layout for the current container.
139
140 Mod1+e::
141 Enable default layout for the current container.
142
143 Mod1+w::
144 Enable tabbed layout for the current container.
145
146 Mod1+Shift+Space::
147 Toggle tiling/floating for the current container.
148
149 Mod1+Space::
150 Select the first tiling container if the current container is floating and
151 vice-versa.
152
153 Mod1+Shift+q::
154 Kills the current window. This is equivalent to "clicking on the close button",
155 meaning a polite request to the application to close this window. For example,
156 Firefox will save its session upon such a request. If the application does not
157 support that, the window will be killed and it depends on the application what
158 happens.
159
160 Mod1+Shift+r::
161 Restarts i3 in place. Your layout will be preserved.
162
163 Mod1+Shift+e::
164 Exits i3.
165
166 == FILES
167
168 === \~/.config/i3/config (or ~/.i3/config)
169
170 When starting, i3 looks for configuration files in the following order:
171
172 1. ~/.config/i3/config (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3/config if set)
173 2. ~/.i3/config
174 3. /etc/xdg/i3/config (or $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/i3/config if set)
175 4. /etc/i3/config
176
177 You can specify a custom path using the -c option.

183 # Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font

186 # text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
187 font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8
188 # Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
189 # font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
190 # The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
191 # clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
192 # X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
193 # font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.

325 This variable overwrites the IPC socket path (placed in
326 /tmp/i3-%u.XXXXXX/ipc-socket.%p by default, where %u is replaced with your UNIX
327 username, %p is replaced with i3’s PID and XXXXXX is a string of random
328 characters from the portable filename character set (see mkdtemp(3))). The IPC
329 socket is used by external programs like i3-msg(1) or i3bar(1).

5 == NAME
6
7 i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar
8
9 == SYNOPSIS
10
11 *i3bar* [*-s* 'sock_path'] [*-b* 'bar_id'] [*-v*] [*-h*]
12
13 == WARNING
14
15 i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every 'bar' configuration block.
16
17 Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.
18
19 You have been warned!
20
21 == OPTIONS
22
23 *-s, --socket* 'sock_path'::
24 Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.
25
26 *-b, --bar_id* 'bar_id'::
27 Specifies the bar ID for which to get the configuration from i3.
28
29 *-v, --version*::
30 Display version number and exit.
31
32 *-h, --help*::
33 Display a short help-message and exit
34
35 == DESCRIPTION
36
37 *i3bar* displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing
38 workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by i3status(1) or
39 similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.
40
41 i3bar supports colors via a JSON protocol starting from v4.2, see
42 https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
43
44 == ENVIRONMENT
45
46 === I3SOCK
47
48 Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the commandline
49 contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the X11 root
50 window.
51
52 == EXAMPLES
53
54 Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar manually.
55
56 Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User’s Guide.
57
58 == SEE ALSO
