I´m trying to use jklö for navigating between the different tiles with my quertz-keyboard. (similar to jkl; on querty) So far, jkl are working well but I don´t get it working to be able to focus right with Mod1+ö. I tried different things in /etc/i3/config: Changing `bindsym Mod1+semicolon` to `bindsym Mod1+ö` did not work as well as changing it to `bind Mod1+47` (found out keycode 47 via xev as described in the userguide. Can anybody tell me how it´s possible to use the umlaut ö for focusing tiles. Thank you in advance for your efforts.Sat, 02 Mar 2013 13:13:05 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1280/focus-qwertz-with-jklo-similar-to-jkl-on-querty/Comment by mschaefer for I just installed i3 and i´m quite excited.

If this typo is also in your config, this should solve the issue. I'm using exactly that, namely 'bindcode $mod+47' to move focus right and here it is working!Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:24:06 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1280/focus-qwertz-with-jklo-similar-to-jkl-on-querty/?comment=1376#comment-1376Answer by Michael for I just installed i3 and i´m quite excited.

Two things, that i did wrong: 1. I always was editing /etc/i3/config instead of /home/myuser/.i3/config :-/ 2. You have to change `bindsym Mod1+semicolon` to `bindcode $mod+47 focus right` So now I´m able to focus the windows with Modifier + jklö.
