Click events If enabled i3bar will send you notifications if the user clicks on a block. Example: { "name": "ethernet", "instance": "eth0", "button": 1, "x": 1320, "y": 1400 } . . . What command do I need to run on the console to give me the location of the mouse while clicking on the i3bar? OR Where the i3bar will send the notifications to?Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:51:30 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4007/how-to-capture-i3bar-click-events-raw-data/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4007/how-to-capture-i3bar-click-events-raw-data/?answer=4009#post-id-4009AFAIK the i3bar will **only** output the json to the stdin of the program which is responsible of displaying information on it aka *status_command* (i3status by default or py3status if you use it). So if you want to catch this data you need to do it from within the given program (AFAIK i3status doesn't support click events). If you use py3status, you can use the i3bar_click_events.py module to catch and handle any click made on your i3bar. Then it's up to you to do whatever you want with the information ;) See the py3status github wiki page : "Handle i3status and i3bar click events" for more information.Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:53:05 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4007/how-to-capture-i3bar-click-events-raw-data/?answer=4009#post-id-4009
