FILES
/etc/i3/config.keycodes
This file contains the default configuration with keycodes. All the
bindcode lines will be transformed to bindsym and the user-specified
modifier will be used.
DESCRIPTION
i3-config-wizard is started by i3 in its default config, unless
~/.i3/config exists. i3-config-wizard creates a keysym based i3 config
file (based on /etc/i3/config.keycodes) in ~/.i3/config.
The advantage of using keysyms is that the config file is easy to read,
understand and modify. However, if we shipped with a keysym based
default config file, the key positions would not be consistent across
different keyboard layouts (take for example the homerow for movement).
Therefore, we ship with a keycode based default config and let the
wizard transform it according to your current keyboard layout.
