i3-autokeymap

Don't think about switching between layouts when switching to another workspace. Let this app do it for you.

Prerequisites

Make sure that python3 -V gives you Python 3.7.0

Dependencies used

This project by now uses these dependencies:

• xkblayout-state (for checking current layout and switching to the next one)
• psutil (for getting the list of processes that are currently running)

Installation

It usually depends on what linux flavor you are using.

Debian, Ubuntu and other .deb distros:

1. https://github.com/nonpop/xkblayout-state#compilation-and-installation (as official docs say...)

2. cd to a desired directory(usually you want this to be in ~/.config/) and git clone https://github.com/f0s3/i3-autokeymap

Arch, Manjaro, Antergos and other AUR users:

1. pacaur -S xkblayout-state-git

2. sudo pip3 install psutil for installing psutil globally or pip3 install --user psutil for current user

3. Same as second step in Debian

Running and adding to i3wm config file

To run script use python3 keymap.py

Example of config line: exec_always --no-startup-id "cd ~/.config/i3-autokeymap && python3 keymap.py"
