Darwin / Mac OS

Window manager

I used to use skhd + yabai but this requires security downgrades on Mac OS. I have since switched to Amethyst. Make no mistake, this is no i3 but yabai never was either.

Hotkeys / Key bindings

I use Karabiner-Elements a keyboard customizer for macOS.
My config lives here.

Linux

I use i3.
The config can be found in the sections below.

What it looks like

Main config

This config sets hotkeys and workspace (virtual desktops) config. It also configures an i3 statusbar helper.
The main config can be found here.

Sidenote: i3 startup is handled via .xinitrc

Statusbar config

• The config uses an extra tool instead of plain i3status: i3cat
• The main i3cat config lives here
• The config above uses two i3status processes plus a separate script to display audio levels
• The config for those i3status processes can be found here.
