Cheat sheet for i3 and Sway

nwg · July 16, 2019, 1:24am

Out of terrible boredom I wrote a short script which displays i3 / Sway key bindings, ordered alphabetically, in a GTK+ window.

In case someone was missing such a window, the script is available on my GitHub:

github.com

nwg-piotr/swayinfo/blob/master/cheatsheet

#!/usr/bin/python3
# _*_ coding: utf-8 _*_

"""
This simple script displays i3 or Sway key bindings found in the ~/.config/i3/config or ~/.config/sway/config file
in a GTK+ scrolling window. Save anywhere, make executable, run w/o arguments for i3, or `cheatsheet sway` for Sway.

It makes sense to give it a binding like e.g.:

bindsym mod1+c exec ~/some/path/cheatsheet

…and remember at least this one.

Top again, might be useful to other members that aren t used to i3 & sway.

Haha! It turns out I discovered some forgotten bindings, too.
