Why are $mod v and $mod h inverted?
Hello,
Just started using i3 and got myself a working desktop, but just have to ask why $mod+v gives me a horizontal layout and $mod+h gives you a vertical layout?
What is the reason for the inversion?
Another way of looking at is splits vs windows. a lot of programs and IDE's use the split analogy and focus on creating vertical or horizontal splits i.e. which axis does the split run along. All I care is that all my programs are consistent - I changed the default bindings to match others in this
I just created a clean config with i3-config-wizard, the behavior you describe is the opposite of the default. How did you set up i3?
I just installed the package on Arch. $mod+v: http://i.imgur.com/3idRuR9.png $mod+h: http://i.imgur.com/9khfL9h.png
Vertical layout = windows laid out vertically; horizontal layout = windows laid out horizontally. There's nothing wrong here, you're just thinking of it backwards.
