i3 config #2

Closed janbaer closed 6 years ago

Could you please document how you configured your i3 config with mapping of all the fn keys (volume, light etc.). I looked in your dot files repo but I couldn't find any settings for that? Can you use the function keys? When yes, which are working and which not? Thanks!

My i3 config is in dotfiles/.i3. Due to legacy reasons I keep some key bindings in .xbindkeysrc, but these are often customized per machine and not tracked by git. I don't think these are useful for anyone but me :)

As for Matebook X: unfortunately hardware buttons do not work yet (xev do not register anything). These keys probably require kernel support like ones in old Sony Vaios did.

For now I use different shortcuts for volume (via pa-volume-ctl.sh) and screen brightness control (see https://github.com/lidel/linux-on-huawei-matebook-x-2017/issues/3).

@janbaer just fyi I've fixed backlight control and created simple script for OSD feedback:
