  66 <div class="sectionbody">\r
  67 <div class="paragraph"><p>i3-config-wizard is started by i3 in its default config, unless <sub>/.i3/config\r
  68 exists. i3-config-wizard creates a keysym based i3 config file (based on\r
  69 /etc/i3/config.keycodes) in </sub>/.i3/config.</p></div>\r
  70 <div class="paragraph"><p>The advantage of using keysyms is that the config file is easy to read,\r
  71 understand and modify. However, if we shipped with a keysym based default\r
  72 config file, the key positions would not be consistent across different\r
  73 keyboard layouts (take for example the homerow for movement). Therefore, we\r
  74 ship with a keycode based default config and let the wizard transform it\r
  75 according to your current keyboard layout.</p></div>\r
