For example, when I switch between windows, I ended up toggling the i3bar when I am pressing the modifier key. I find this very disorienting. Is there anyway to bind a key combination to this? maybe mod+alt+space or something?Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:58:44 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2187/multilple-key-to-show-i3bar-in-hide-mode/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2187/multilple-key-to-show-i3bar-in-hide-mode/?answer=2190#post-id-2190You can specify the modifyer for showing i3bar as per the [userguide](http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_display_mode) like this: bar { mode hide modifier Mod1 } Adapt the modifier line to set your [keybinds](http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#keybindings).

Thanks for the clarification.Fri, 12 Jul 2013 06:34:56 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2187/multilple-key-to-show-i3bar-in-hide-mode/?comment=2195#comment-2195https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2187/multilple-key-to-show-i3bar-in-hide-mode/?comment=2191#comment-2191No, as I as mentioned, I need it to bind to more than 1 keypress, for example Mod4+Shift+Space. putting more than 1 key, or anything other than Mod1-5,Ctrl,Shift to that line will cause an error.

Maybe this is desired behavior for some reason, but please [report it](https://faq.i3wm.org/question/148/how-to-report-bug-or-submit-patch/?answer=149#post-id-149).
