*Example*:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-# Press $mod+o followed by either f, t, Esc or Return to launch firefox,
+# Press $mod+o followed by either f, t, Escape or Return to launch firefox,
# thunderbird or return to the default mode, respectively.
set $mode_launcher Launch: [f]irefox [t]hunderbird
bindsym $mod+o mode "$mode_launcher"

=== Focus follows mouse
-By default, window focus follows your mouse movements. However, if you have a
-setup where your mouse usually is in your way (like a touchpad on your laptop
-which you do not want to disable completely), you might want to disable 'focus
-follows mouse' and control focus only by using your keyboard. The mouse will
-still be useful inside the currently active window (for example to click on
-links in your browser window).
+By default, window focus follows your mouse movements as the mouse crosses
+window borders. However, if you have a setup where your mouse usually is in your
+way (like a touchpad on your laptop which you do not want to disable

*Syntax*:
--------------------------
contains a single window. Otherwise it makes the current window a split
container with opposite orientation compared to the parent container.
Use +layout toggle split+ to change the layout of any split container from
- splitv to splith or vice-versa.
+ splitv to splith or vice-versa. You can also define a custom sequence of layouts
+ to cycle through with +layout toggle+, see <<manipulating_layout>>.
*Syntax*:
--------------------------------
or +layout splith+ to change the current container layout to splith/splitv,
stacking, tabbed layout, splitv or splith, respectively.
+ Specify up to four layouts after +layout toggle+ to cycle through them. Every
+ time the command is executed, the layout specified after the currently active
+ one will be applied. If the currently active layout is not in the list, the
+ first layout in the list will be activated.
+
To make the current window (!) fullscreen, use +fullscreen enable+ (or
+fullscreen enable global+ for the global mode), to leave either fullscreen
mode use +fullscreen disable+, and to toggle between these two states use
--------------------------------------------
layout default|tabbed|stacking|splitv|splith
layout toggle [split|all]
+ layout toggle [split|tabbed|stacking|splitv|splith] [split|tabbed|stacking|splitv|splith]…
--------------------------------------------
*Examples*:
# Toggle between stacking/tabbed/splith/splitv:
bindsym $mod+x layout toggle all
+ # Toggle between stacking/tabbed/splith:
+ bindsym $mod+x layout toggle stacking tabbed splith
+
+ # Toggle between splitv/tabbed
+ bindsym $mod+x layout toggle splitv tabbed
+
+ # Toggle between last split layout/tabbed/stacking
+ bindsym $mod+x layout toggle split tabbed stacking
+
# Toggle fullscreen
bindsym $mod+f fullscreen toggle
bindsym $mod+r exec i3-input -F 'rename workspace to "%s"' -P 'New name: '
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+If you want to rename workspaces on demand while keeping the navigation stable,
+you can use a setup like this:
+
+*Example*:
+-------------------------
+bindsym $mod+1 workspace number "1: www"
+bindsym $mod+2 workspace number "2: mail"
+...
+-------------------------
+
+If a workspace does not exist, the command +workspace number "1: mail"+ will
+create workspace "1: mail".
+
+If a workspace with number 1 does already exist, the command will switch to this
+workspace and ignore the text part. So even when the workspace has been renamed
+to "1: web", the above command will still switch to it.
+
