5 # This config file uses keycodes (bindsym) and was written for the QWERTY
8 # To get a config file with the same key positions, but for your current
9 # layout, use the i3-config-wizard
12 # Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
13 # is used in the bar {} block below.
14 font pango:monospace 8
16 # This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
17 # text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
18 #font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8
20 # Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
21 # font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
22 # The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
23 # clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
24 # X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
25 # font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.
27 # use these keys for focus, movement, and resize directions when reaching for
28 # the arrows is not convenient
34 # use Mouse+Mod1 to drag floating windows to their wanted position
