Change floating window move step

Sun, 13 Sep 2015 15:13:32 +0000

I'd like to increase step of moving floating windows ($mod+shift+[ j k l ; ]), is there a way to do it without recompiling i3?

See http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_focusing_moving_containers: move [ px] Note that the amount of pixels you can specify for the move command is only relevant for floating containers. The default amount is 10 pixels.

See http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#focusingmoving_containers:

move <left|right|down|up> [<px> px]

Note that the amount of pixels you can specify for the move command is only relevant for floating containers. The default amount is 10 pixels.
