Den letzten (2013) Workshop zu i3 habe ich (Gereon) gehalten. Hier habe ich meine Konfiguration von i3 verewigt, zum einen um eine Idee zu geben was man da alles machen kann, zum anderen um ein paar Ideen für Erweiterungen zu zeigen.
Diese config unter ~/.i3/config ablegen. Besonderheiten gegenüber der Standard-Config:
Eine Warnung vorweg: Ein paar Sachen funktionieren vielleicht nicht sofort mit den Standard-Paketen, insbesondere der andere Programm-Launcher i3-dmenu-desktop ist erst ab Version 4.4 dabei.

Die Skripte enthalten Befehle, die ich oft benutze. Einige davon benötigen root-Rechte. Meine Lösung für den Fall ist, dass ich meinem Account erlaube diese Befehle mit sudo ausführen darf ohne ein Passwort einzugeben. Das sieht für user user und den Befehl command dann in der /etc/sudoers so aus:
user ALL = NOPASSWD:command
Wichtig: der command muss mit vollständigen Pfad angegeben werden, also beispielsweise /sbin/shutdown statt shutdown. Diesen Pfad findet man im Zweifel mit whereis (oder which).
Ein paar Beispiele, was ich alles als actions habe:
Suspend-to-disk: hibernate
#!/bin/sh i3lock -c "#000000" && sudo pm-hibernate
Bildschirm sperren: lock
#!/bin/sh i3lock -c "#000000"
Ausloggen: quit
#!/bin/sh i3-msg "exit"
Neustarten: reboot
#!/bin/sh sudo shutdown -r now
i3 Config neu laden (Session inklusive aller Fenster bleibt erhalten, Statusbar bleibt wie sie ist): reload
#!/bin/sh i3-msg "reload"
i3 neu starten (Session inklusive aller Fenster bleibt erhalten, Statusbar wird neugestartet): restart
#!/bin/sh i3-msg "restart"
Bildschirm auf VGA spiegeln: vgamirror
#!/bin/sh
