It is possible to have i3 running alongside KDE Plasma as seen here: KDE#Use a different window manager KRunner as application launcher in KDE Plasma/i3 Rofi is a popular dmenu replacement and more that can list desktop entries. Alternatively, the package j4-dmenu-desktop-git AUR can be used. I3-wm contains i3-dmenu-desktop, a Perl wrapper for dmenu which uses desktop entries to create a list of all installed applications. As it is an optional dependency dmenu must first be installed before this functionality can be used. I3 uses dmenu as an application launcher, which is bound by default to $mod+d. See i3 Tree and Containers and the tree data structure for details. Containers are tiled by default, but can be set to tabbed or stacking layouts, as well as made floating (such as for dialog windows). This structure branches with horizontal or vertical splits.

I3 manages windows in a tree structure, with containers as building blocks. More information can be found in Keyboard shortcuts#Xorg. If switching between multiple window managers or desktop environments, consider using sxhkd or another environment agnostic program to manage bindings. Users of non-Qwerty keyboard layouts may wish to circumvent the "configuration wizard" as described below. See Keyboard bindings to add new shortcuts. See the i3 reference card and Using i3 for the defaults. Super is the key usually represented on a keyboard as a Windows icon, or on an Apple keyboard as a Command key. This is Alt (Mod1) by default, with Super (Mod4) being a popular alternative. In i3, commands are invoked with a modifier key, referred to as $mod.

See the official documentation for more information, namely the i3 User's Guide. sktop enables logs (useful for debugging). I3-wm includes i3.desktop as Xsession which starts the window manager. Note: i3-wm conflicts with i3-gaps (a fork of i3 with gaps and other features) and by default i3-gaps will be installed. It includes the window manager, a screen locker and two programs which write a status line to i3bar through stdout. I3 can be installed with the i3-wm package.Īn i3 package group is also available. 6.5 Mouse cursor remains in waiting mode.6.4 Faulty line wraps in tiled terminals.6.3 Buttons in the i3 message bar do not work.6.2 New installation displays only garbled text.5.13 Automatically switch horizontal / vertical window split orientation.5.12 Network Download/Upload speed in statusbar.5.11 Correct handling of floating dialogs.
