Why i3wm?

Installation

sudo dnf install i3 i3status dmenu i3lock

Custom configuration

Volume, brightness, lock screen, wallpaper

Swap mouse buttons to be left handed:

|  exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"

Change the movement keys to match vim:

# change focus

bindsym $mod+h focus left

bindsym $mod+j focus down

bindsym $mod+k focus up

bindsym $mod+l focus right

# move focused window bindsym $mod+Shift+h move left bindsym $mod+Shift+j move down bindsym $mod+Shift+k move up bindsym $mod+Shift+l move right

Now that $mod+h is being used to move left, we need to modify the key for horizontal split. I chose 'b' because it's fairly close to h, and next to 'v'. To me it makes sense to have them next to each other.

# split in horizontal orientation bindsym $mod+b split h

# Start network manager exec --no-startup-id nm-applet
