I3-INPUT(1) i3 Manual I3-INPUT(1) NAME i3-input - interactively take a command for i3 window manager SYNOPSIS i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v] DESCRIPTION i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for the mark/goto command. You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands. OPTIONS -s <socket> Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own). -F <format> Every occurrence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input, and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value is "%s". -l <limit> Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters. i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user input reaches that length. -P <prompt> Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field. The prompt string is not included in the user input/command. -f <font> Use the specified X11 core font (use xfontsel to choose a font). -v Show version and exit. EXAMPLES Mark a container with a single character: i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: ' Go to the container marked with above example: i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Go to: ' ENVIRONMENT I3SOCK i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following or- der: * I3SOCK environment variable * I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified * if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11 property, which is the recommended way * if everything fails, i3-input tries /tmp/i3-ipc.sock The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the com- mand.
