If this is hard to read in your browser, just copy the text and paste it into your editor.
    Turn 'line wrapping' on. :)

This is a 'how to' for anyone interested in a i3 setup and also for anyone currently
    using i3 and wants to tweak there setup a little more.  I am constantly updating my
    i3 config with cool 'stuff.'  I hope you enjoy reading and if you use some of the code,
    great!  I don't know everything and am still learning, too. :)

This is my system settings for i3. Specifically, I use [Manjaro i3](https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=28022.0).

This is not a list of all keyboard shortcuts.  Just the ones I use a lot.

My i3 config file is tweaked alot and everything works.  If you were to install
    Manjaro i3 on your computer and replace the default config with my config and,
    assuming you had everything installed that I have installed, it should (?) work perfectly.
    YMMV.

After I installed Manjaro i3 on my computer, I updated (yaourt -Syua) and removed
    mousepad, palemoon and nitrogen (replaced with geany, firefox and hsetroot).

Extra software that I installed..
yaourt -S radiotray tty-clock-borderless grub-customizer urxvtcd geany-themes firefox
    mplayer moc ranger transmission-gtk figlet cowsay jre8-openjdk feh imagemagick
    scrot screenfetch gimp gimp-help-en htop agave soundconverter easytag bleachbit
    youtube-dl ffmpeg mencoder vlc hddtemp galculator w3m lolcat

I don't use a login manager. I prefer to enter name, password and startx.  I also like my
    grub background to be the same as my desktop background.  I create a link and then
    use grub-customizer to select the background.  Do something like this in terminal -->
    sudo ln -s ~/Pictures/login_background/bg.png /usr/share/grub/bg.png and open
    grub-customizer to select the new background and save.  Tip:  I save all my fave wallpapers
    in ~/Pictures/login_background/ and I rename the wallpaper that I want to use now to bg.png
    (my .xinitrc file sources that image and applies it using hsetroot).

I also use xcolors [link](https://github.com/linuxbbq/xcolors) to apply a pretty color pallete to all
    my terminal apps, and I use a few custom bash scripts that are in my ~/bin folder (env-info,
    grabber, pacli, torrent done and upgrade to name a few).

I have also included my .Xresourses and .xinitrc files.

	If this is hard to read in your browser, just copy the text and paste it into your editor.
	Turn 'line wrapping' on. :)

	This is a 'how to' for anyone interested in a i3 setup and also for anyone currently
	using i3 and wants to tweak there setup a little more. I am constantly updating my
	i3 config with cool 'stuff.' I hope you enjoy reading and if you use some of the code,
	great! I don't know everything and am still learning, too. :)

	This is my system settings for i3. Specifically, I use [Manjaro i3](https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=28022.0).

	This is not a list of all keyboard shortcuts. Just the ones I use a lot.

	My i3 config file is tweaked alot and everything works. If you were to install
	Manjaro i3 on your computer and replace the default config with my config and,
	assuming you had everything installed that I have installed, it should (?) work perfectly.
	YMMV.

	After I installed Manjaro i3 on my computer, I updated (yaourt -Syua) and removed
	mousepad, palemoon and nitrogen (replaced with geany, firefox and hsetroot).

	Extra software that I installed..
	yaourt -S radiotray tty-clock-borderless grub-customizer urxvtcd geany-themes firefox
	mplayer moc ranger transmission-gtk figlet cowsay jre8-openjdk feh imagemagick
	scrot screenfetch gimp gimp-help-en htop agave soundconverter easytag bleachbit
	youtube-dl ffmpeg mencoder vlc hddtemp galculator w3m lolcat

	I don't use a login manager. I prefer to enter name, password and startx. I also like my
	grub background to be the same as my desktop background. I create a link and then
	use grub-customizer to select the background. Do something like this in terminal -->
	sudo ln -s ~/Pictures/login_background/bg.png /usr/share/grub/bg.png and open
	grub-customizer to select the new background and save. Tip: I save all my fave wallpapers
	in ~/Pictures/login_background/ and I rename the wallpaper that I want to use now to bg.png
	(my .xinitrc file sources that image and applies it using hsetroot).

	I also use xcolors [link](https://github.com/linuxbbq/xcolors) to apply a pretty color pallete to all
	my terminal apps, and I use a few custom bash scripts that are in my ~/bin folder (env-info,
	grabber, pacli, torrent done and upgrade to name a few).

	I have also included my .Xresourses and .xinitrc files.
