Want i3 to automatically adjust the vertical/horizontal tiling of your windows?

Cool, I think it’s time to start trying another thing than Openbox.

Dobbie03 · December 23, 2018, 6:45am

Do it!

Arcandres · December 23, 2018, 6:48am

Haha dunno, i3 seems like a lot of work, but do I have to configure everything or maybe ArchLabs has pre-config for it?

Dobbie03 · December 23, 2018, 6:52am

All pre-configured for you.

Arcandres · December 23, 2018, 6:54am

Pfffffffffff
yay -S i3

Correction suggestion: yay -S i3-gaps

Guess it s the same for me, but I like Openbox too much & I m too used to it now.lol

Double correction suggestion: pacman -S i3-gaps

Hey @Arcandres, just found this gif. Thought it might encourage you further to install and use i3.

Arcandres · December 23, 2018, 5:22pm

All right, all right.

I’m using it.

It was easy enough to just change this:

session="${1:-openbox}"

I’m adjusting to shotcurts and I have to move the old ones and yes, I chose i3-gaps.

Was it the Shia LeBeouf gif that convinced you?

Arcandres · December 23, 2018, 5:26pm

Haha yes, thank god it doesn’t have sound.

Dobbie03 · December 23, 2018, 5:27pm

I was thinking the same.
