i3 4.24                                            11/06/2024                                I3-CONFIG-WIZARD(1)

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.

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.
