So basically it's something like this (pseudo code): if the layout of the currently focused container is tabbed: bind Super+J to focus right bind Super+K to focus left otherwise: bind Super+J to focus down bind Super+K to focus up Is there a way to do this? Basically I'd like to have the bindings that worked for stacked layouts, but maintain the appearance of tabbed layouts.

A python/lua wrapper can identify the layout of the current option via IPC, then it can send the appropriate command via IPC as well. github.com/acrisci/i3ipc-glib has bindings for several languages.Thu, 20 Nov 2014 23:56:25 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4896/can-i-bind-keys-conditionally-based-on-the-container-layout/?answer=4985#post-id-4985
