== NAME
== SYNOPSIS
-i3 [-c configfile]
+i3 [-c configfile] [-a]
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+-c::
+Specifies an alternate configuration file path
+
+-a::

== DESCRIPTION
Here is a short overview of the default keybindings:
j/k/l/;::
-Direction keys (left, down, up, right). They are on your homerow (see the mark on your "j" key).
+Direction keys (left, down, up, right). They are on your homerow (see the mark
+on your "j" key). Alternatively, you can use the cursor keys.
Mod1+<direction>::
Focus window in <direction>.
Mod1+e::
Enable default layout for the current container.
+Mod1+Shift+Space::
+Toggle tiling/floating for the current window.
+
+Mod1+t::
+Select the first tiling window if the current window is floating and vice-versa.
+
Mod1+Shift+q::
-Kills the current client.
+Kills the current window. This is equivalent to "clicking on the close button", meaning a polite
+request to the application to close this window. For example, Firefox will save its session
+upon such a request. If the application does not support that, the window will be killed and
+it depends on the application what happens.
Mod1+Shift+r::
Restarts i3 in place (without losing any windows, but the layout).
