C-x 2 splits the editor horizontally C-x 3 splits it vertically C-x o jumps to the other side C-x 1 only keeps the active buffer [Vadim Atlygin](http://infra.in.zekjur.net/archives/i3-discuss/2012-June/000716.html) worked on integrating i3 in emacs, *certainly* by, somehow, delegating the execution of these commands to `i3` through IPC messages. However, I can't get it working, and I don't know emacs enough to be able to fix anything in his code. Any idea how to install it propertly ?, anything else than that: (require 'i3) (require 'i3-integration) (i3-one-window-per-frame-mode-on) (i3-advise-visible-frame-list-on) Any idea what's wrong ? maybe it's just version conflicts ? $ i3 -v i3 version 4.4 (2012-12-12, branch "tags/4.4") $ emacs --version GNU Emacs 24.2.1Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:03:50 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?answer=1297#post-id-1297What's the error you are receiving? Putting those files in your ~/.emacs.d folder and adding: (require 'i3) (require 'i3-integration) (i3-one-window-per-frame-mode-on) (i3-advise-visible-frame-list-on) To your .emacs should be enough. If you are receiving start-up errors try running Emacs with the --debug-init flag and post the backtrace.Mon, 04 Mar 2013 05:31:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?answer=1297#post-id-1297https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?comment=2342#comment-2342@kevin: the `C-x n` commands are not supposed to change. The `i3-one-window-per-frame-mode` only affects where Emacs opens new popup windows.Sun, 11 Aug 2013 18:10:57 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?comment=2342#comment-2342https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?comment=1298#comment-1298I don't see any error, and that's what is bothering me! My `C-x n` commands work the same way as usual and the `*Messages*` buffer doesn't have anything suspicious, I can even see `i3.el (source)...done` and `i3.el (source)...done` ...Mon, 04 Mar 2013 08:35:30 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1273/i3-and-emacs-integration/?comment=1298#comment-1298
