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

Karabiner-Elements a keyboard customizer for macOS.

Linux

I use i3. 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 sets a statusbar helper, i3cat. The main config can be found here.

i3 startup is handled via .xinitrc. This config lives here.

Statusbar config

• Uses i3cat
• Find i3cat config here
• ^ this config uses two i3status processes and a separate script to display audio levels. Those i3status configs can be found here.
