Also we can use the Mod+p to jump to the opened window by searching its title

Tips

  • TeamViewer: Move it to a worksapce(Mod + Shift + N) and make it fullscreen(Mod + f)

  • ScreenShot: Use the ksnapshot launched by DMemu(Mod + d)

  • Picture Edit: Use the shutter or GIMP

  • Lock or quit: Mod + Shift + q, then press the corresponding key

  • File Explorer: Mod + e, or launch the nautilus --no-desktop . in terminal

  • Switch to terminal(Ctrl + Alt + F1~F6) to close the application:

    When an application overlay the i3 worksapce and can't switch to other workspace, and cannot close that application

  • It takes a little time to be effect when update the conky status bar configuration
