#
# Please see https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference!

# This config file will use environmental variables such as $BROWSER and $TERMINAL.
# You can set these variables in ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile if you have it as below:
#
# export FILE="ranger"
# export TERMINAL="st"

# Primary modifier: Super
set $mod1 Mod4
# Secondary modifier: Alt
set $mod2 Mod1
# 3rd Mod key:
set $mod3 Control
# WARNING: this config assumes two xrandr displays (above/below)
#          with a primary/internal display named "eDP-1"
set $disp1 eDP-1

# #---Basic Definitions---# #
for_window [class="^.*"] border pixel 1
#set $term --no-startup-id $TERMINAL

# #---Dropdown Windows---# #
# General dropdown window traits. The order can matter.

# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
#font pango:monospace 16

# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
# text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
# font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 16
font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, Terminus Bold Semi-Condensed 6

# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.
