Re: [Nix-dev] KDE with i3 as window manager in NixOS?

2015-01-05 Thread Kirill Elagin
I am running KDE with xmonad as window manager (not on NixOS but I don’t think there is any difference). I always thought the easiest way of replacing _just_ the window manager in KDE was setting the KDEWM environment variable during startup which I do by exporting it in `~/.kde4/env/xmonad.sh`

Hi, thanks for your reply. The point is, there is no ~/.kde4/ directory! There is ~/.kde/, but there is no ~/.kde/env/ in there! So,... it _kindof_ works now. I wrote the config you specified in the .kde/env/something.sh file. My problem _now_ is, that the KDE workspace is an application,

Hi, I found this thread as well, actually. It did not work that good for me, unfortunately. Anyways, thanks for your effort! I figured out that I can set shortcuts in kwin to behave like i3, which is really awesome! I'm not that near at i3 at the moment, no tiling by now ( :-( ), but I'm getting

Ah, then you need some kind of i3 configuration tweaks, this has nothing to do with KDE. Again, I can tell only for XMonad an it handles this pretty easily after a few KDE-specific lines are added to its configuration. You might be interested in [this thread][1] quick googling gave me; looks like

2015-01-04 Thread Matthias Beyer
Hi, I'm trying to get KDE to use i3 as window manager. I did not succeed by now. I want to try this whether it is useable for me, so I can benefit from KDE as well as from i3. I tried to reproduce this [0] suggestion in nixos, but I failed when writing the .desktop file to the nix store
