keybind commands/navigation

READ sway config for keybinds + alternative sway config for mod4(win/super) navigation keybinds

Using both mod1(alt) and mod4(win/super) in default config depending on use.

mod4+shift+q = reloads config

mod4+shift+r = rotates sway/i3 navigation configurations -> see sway dir.

mod4+shift+g = capture a gif with script <- repeat keybind to finish command!

mod4+shift+s = grimshot screenshot

mod4+ctrl+shift+s = flameshot screenshot

terminal navigation

ctrl+l <- clears console

ctrl+a <- goes to beginning of line

ctrl+e <- goes to end of line

ctrl+k <- deletes from cursor to end of line

ctrl+left or ctrl+right <- forward and backward words

shift+PgUp or shift+PgDwn <- up and down terminal (faster than scrolling)

more commands to learn -> learning-command-line by LinkedInLearning

run a script in scripts folder

example:

NOTE: run these commands individually

cd ~/dotfiles/scripts
chmod +x install_my_apps.sh
sudo ./install_my_apps.sh

drop the display managers...full stop...

I've had the most issues with display (login) managers, so I prefer TTY. To remove your display manager, use:

sudo apt remove gdm3 sddm lightdm

Login by typing your username and password, then start Sway from TTY by typing:

sway

sway

If you encounter issues, switch TTYs with CTRL+ALT+F1 to F6.

I've discovered!

HUGE PRO to using the TTY is if you have Sway config issues or an application is experiencing errors when you logout of Sway you will see those errors in the TTY!

prefer X11 over Wayland? Have an Nvidia GPU?

Use i3 wm instead till Nvidia is fully supported... or if you just like X11 over Wayland due to strange behavior and/or bugs with your specific hardware.

See my i3 wm repo

I personally use i3 over Sway... Mostly due to prefrence and lack of customizability wlroots locks down on its users

converting sway config to i3?

i3 -C -c ~/.config/i3/config
