Hi Daniel,

Axel already mentioned that you should be presented with i3-config-wizard on
your first start of i3, which will generate an i3 config based on keyboard
codes instead of keyboard symbols. So, in that config file, whichever key is
on
your homerow ends up being the "focus right" key.

I think it depends on packaging. On OpenBSD package, I didn't see this,
but I don't care. Really.

You could use the arrow keys in these applications. The arrow keys are
comfortable reachable in decent keyboard layouts such as neo-layout.org.

I stripped off my arrow keys with a screwdriver. [1]

How would you *see* what layout people are using? I don’t care what’s printed
on my keys ;-).

Me too. Actually, I only remap Tab to be my Esc, and Caps Lock to be my
Control, just like ADM-3A terminal. It's very handy to have Esc closer
to homerow.

Cheers,

[1] Just kidding. But I don't use them.
