14 Specifies the terminal emulator program you prefer. It will be started by default when
15 you press Mod1+Enter, but you can overwrite this. Refer to it as +$terminal+ to keep things
18 Specifies the default font you want i3 to use. Use an X core font descriptor here, like
19 +-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1+. You can use +xfontsel(1)+

40 === Automatically putting clients on specific workspaces
42 It is recommended that you match on window classes whereever possible because some applications
43 first create their window and then care about setting the correct title. Firefox with Vimperator
44 comes to mind, as the window starts up being named Firefox and only when Vimperator is loaded,
45 the title changes. As i3 will get the title as soon as the application maps the window (mapping
46 means actually displaying it on the screen), you’d need to have to match on Firefox in this case.
