[i3] I'm new to i3 and have some questions about configuration and use

2015-03-24 Thread Yuri
I'm kinda new to Linux in general, and now I'm learning how to use Arch
Linux. I installed i3 today and it's a very fun window manager. But I'm
having some problems using it.

1) When I use Mod4+a, the Parent Container is selected, and then I press
it again and again and everything gets selected. How do I deselect
everything and return to my previous window selection (right now I can
only do that by creating a new window or changing workspace)?

2) When I run startx, two terminal windows are automatically loaded into
my screen. I looked into /etc/i3/config and ~/.i3/config and there's no
exec there. I can't find a way to disable this and get a clean start.

Sorry if these things are easy to fix, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks.

Look also in the following files:
~/.xinitrc  if it exists
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc  otherwise

1.  Mod-d (for down)

2.  Strange.  Do you have an ~/.xsessionrc?  See man xsession for too much
inf.
