From 731faded8ddc845ab5a55f050c9ebc14a85f5c5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Carroll Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 18:24:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Extends i3 to support gLinux setup Disables i3-gaps code temporarily until I get a proper installation working. Formats existing code to prefer alignment of text across similar, adjacent definitions. Defines new KBDs for screenlocking, music player controls, volume controls. Defines a rough manifesto of KBDs and the reasoning behind some choices. --- configs/linux/misc/.config/i3/config | 176 ++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 120 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) diff --git a/configs/linux/misc/.config/i3/config b/configs/linux/misc/.config/i3/config index 33505dcbd..2f151f8e1 100644 --- a/configs/linux/misc/.config/i3/config +++ b/configs/linux/misc/.config/i3/config @@ -1,5 +1,19 @@ set $mod Mod1 +# Keymapping philosophy: +# When I feel it's appropriate, I try to borrow existing KBDs from OSX or +# Windows.
