Hello,
I’m currently setting up i3 for the first time. I see that I have “Pulseaudio Preferences” that I can go into to jump between my headphones and my speakers. However, I’m wondering if it would be possible in the i3 config to instead create a keyboard shortcut where I can just switch between them. Preferably something like mod+m to jump between them so I don’t have to use two different keyboard shortcuts. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a keybinding that would toggle on/off all of i3’s keybindings (except the same toggle key)? The reason I am asking is that I think this would be a good way to implement a sort of “video game mode” where you wouldn’t need to worry about your i3 keybindings clobbering those of the application. The most ideal situation would be the ability to add …

I like to switch keyboard layouts with win+space. That’s easy enough, setxkbmap -layout us,gr -option -option grp:win_space_toggle. Unfortunately, that apparently means that X handles win+space, and doesn’t let i3 know. Which would be fine if it only handled win+space. But win+space isn’t enough apparently, as it also eats every combination …

I3 makes extensive use of keyboard shortcuts to control different aspects of your environment. These include opening the terminal and other programs, resizing and positioning windows, changing layouts, and even exiting i3. When you start using i3, you need to memorize a few of those shortcuts to get around and, with time, you’ll use more of them.

To move the focus between the two terminals, you can use the direction keys which you may know from the editor vi.However, in i3, your homerow is used for these keys (in vi, the keys are shifted to the left by one for compatibility with most keyboard layouts).Therefore, mod+J is left, mod+K is down, mod+L is up and mod+; is right. So, to switch between the terminals, use mod+K or mod+L.

Disabling the shortcuts here is about letting i3 take over in this regard, utilizing the i3 config file. Although my general philosophy is to avoid getting technical wherever possible (ie: avoid using a config file when a GUI is available), managing keyboard shortcuts through the i3 config file is inevitable if you want to use i3 at all.
