Vincent Bernat's i3 configuration

This is my i3 configuration. It does not exactly feature the same keybindings as the default configuration. I don't recommend using it by you can pick anything you need in it.

Here some of the things you may be interested in:

• I use a Python script bin/build-wallpaper to build the wallpaper to be displayed. There is a random selection and it works with multihead setup. It seems that classic tools are now able to change the wallpaper per screen and therefore, the script may seem a bit useless but I keep it.

• I am using xss-lock with i3lock as a screensaver. It relies on standard X screensaver handling (and therefore is easy for application to disable) and also supports systemd inhibitors. Nothing fancy but I reuse the wallpaper built above. A notification is sent 10 seconds before starting.

• There is an i3-companion (in bin/) which I use to implement whatever does not match what I want in i3. I prefer to not have many Python binaries running.

• There is a Quake console included.

• Many stuff is handled by systemd. The session is still expected to be handled by Xsession but we invoke a custom xsession.target which binds to graphical-session.target. i3 will then invoke i3-session.target for stuff needing i3 to run.

Also, I am using my custom terminal (vbeterm). You can also find the sources on GitHub.

Requirements

Required Debian packages to make everything work can be found in my Puppet configuration.
