I'd like to configure key binds that are only active for windows that are in floating mode, but I can't seem to find any good way to write something like:
bindsym Mod4+x [floating=true] kill
Am I missing some other way of achieving this, or would it be possible to add such a critera option?
You could use
bindsym Mod4+x exec --no-startup-id your_script.sh
where your_script.sh parses the output of i3-msg -t get_tree to find out what state the focused window is. It then issues a specific command depending on whether the window is floating.
Command criteria don't support this, but you can subscribe to the window event and then trigger a command. For this you can use, for example, i3subscribe.
