THIS IS CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION - DO NOT USE YET
Welcome to my little project to help i3wm newbies with several first steps in the great world of i3wm. If there are any questions regarding my solutions or suggestions how to improve them, feel free to contact me or just open an issue.
TL;DR: Please run the following line. It should install all requirements from apt and put each file in the right place
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aduril/i3wm-convenience/master/bootstrap.sh; chmod 744 bootstrap.sh; ./bootstrap.sh
I’ve implemented the functionality of some of my Media Keys, like:
- Microphone Mute/Unmute Toggle
- Volume Up/Down/Silence Buttons
- Display Brightness Up/Down
I use the i3lock tool, but wrapped it, so that it takes a random image from a specific folder.
I installed lpicanco’s i3-autodisplay to enable smoother handling of added displays.
When I setup my current environment I was confronted with the question which OS shall be taken. I know this is a very personal question for everyone. I decided for Ubuntu 20.04, because it is widely spread and I am already used to it.
I am not associated with anyone from the i3wm project and consider myself as nothing more than a newbie, that wants to save other people’s time by collecting some hacks and tools that I stumbled upon on my way here. Hence, as everywhere in life it goes without saying: Think for yourselves before using anything that someone posted on the internet. :)
