@eugen @vermaden Does it (#Sway and / or #Wayland) have window switching (toggling between the last two used windows)? This functionality is *vital* for me. NB #i3wm does not have it either, BUT XOrg can do it for me: https://github.com/sagb/alttab is it possible in Wayland? Also, does it have a clipboard? You know, MMB click to paste? Those are the 2 I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are a couple more.
If Alt-tab works on Sway, I'll try it right away 🙂
i3 installation fail ubuntu 22.04lts #2204 #i3wm
They're just so dang convenient!
Also, while I love #KDE #Plasma's flexibility, power, and aesthetics, there's just something about the directness and immediacy of #i3wm / #sway that I just can't give up.
I still totally love Plasma at work, and it's great for my convertible/yoga device, but for just sitting down and doing concentrated/focused text-based work, tiling is where it's at.
#i3 #i3wm question (asking here because if I start looking into this myself right now, I'll end up in that rabbithole instead of doing my job lol):
Anyone know if it's possible to dynamically show/hide the status bar (not necessarily i3status; I use bumblebee-status personally)? I'm not looking for an equivalent to Windows' "auto-hide taskbar" or anything; the vast majority of the time I want the bar there, but there are some applications (almost always Windows apps running in Wine) that 1. don't play nice with gaps, and; 2. hide UI behind the bar, and it would be nice if I could just have an easy way to handle working around those issues.
Right now I just put the window in floating mode, which works great in theory, but Adobe apps (99.9% of the time this annoys me, it's when I'm working in Photoshop or Illustrator) are very dialog heavy, and so those dialogs often end up hiding behind the main window and I end up having to hit $meta+[Left/right] to cycle it back into focus*
*it's _possible_ there's a not too complicated fix/workaround for this with a couple simple commands in i3 config, but that depends on whether the main window and its dialogs are reliably distinguishable from one another based on window properties (e.g. using xprop), but uh, yeah... now you see why I didn't want to get into it during business hours lmao
Aun sigo en i3wm,experiencia minima,personalizable,ligero y simple de usar,me niego a abandonarlo,por ahora....
@nixCraft That's what I do! All my #i3wm hacks: https://yphil.gitlab.io/tags/i3/ they dont even come *close* to my machines 🙂
Here is my current dual-monitor layout.
Left monitor is my laptop, featuring apps like TickTick or Teams.
Right monitor is my main / focus screen, where everything else happens.
el ultimo #viernesdeescritorio de este mes porque no?
esta vez cambie a i3,puede que me quede permanentemente o directamente regrese a xfce,lo unico que busco actualmente es minimalismo y que mi maquina sea completamente utilizable que es lo importante.
I just remembered I had #i3wm installed on my work computer, but had not finished setting it up.
It is slightly ugly right now (colors and fonts are odd), but usable.

As planned, sat down and wrote my own i3status wrapper, so I can clutter my status bar with all kinds of useless info as easily as possible lol.
Ich habe heute nachmittag sowohl #AntiX, als auch #Garuda #Linux ausprobiert. Die Entscheidung brauchte dann einen Augenblick. Weil ich Garuda in der #i3wm Version gewählte hatte, den ich schon lange verwende und ich mich grundsätzlich im #Arch-Universum recht wohl fühle, war meine Wahl letztlich vorhersehbar.
Nun bin ich schon seit 3 Stunden dabei, alles wieder herzurichten. Da ich alles wichtige, auch die versteckten .-Dateien, stets auf USB-Sticks sichere, geht es recht flauschig voran ;-)
Morgens vom PC mit den Worten, "Sitzung kann nicht gestartet werden", begrüßt zu werden, darf wohl als Fehlstart gedeutet werden.
War meine Aufräumaktion am Mittwoch vielleicht doch etwas radikal? Aber #pacman konnte kein Systemupdate durchführen, weil die Partition keinen Platz mehr hatte. Da habe ich bestimmt äußerst blöd aus der Wäsche geguckt. Nach der Reinigung war fast 50 % wieder frei, der Rest also nur temporärer #Cache kram. Naja, beinahe, #i3wm kam dabei irgendwie mit unter die Räder. Läuft aber alles wieder.
