changing the MOD key
I have my MOD key set up as the Windows key on my keyboard. However, it seems to me that most people have it set up as the ALT key. How can I change mine to conform?

Adjust the $mod variable to Mod1 for using Alt Key.
The config file can be found under "~/.i3/config".
In my config, I use $sup+<key> for program shortcuts.
# modifier = Alt, $sup = Wind0ws key
set $mod Mod1
set $sup Mod4Stats

Out of curiosity, why would you switch? While it may be true that "most people" use the Alt key, that doesn't necessarily make it better for **your** workflow. (I personally use the Windows key.)
I guess you are right, BatmanAoD. So perhaps I'll stick with the Windows key.
I don’t think most people use the alt key. From my subjective impression talking to users, it’s always the windows key.
