Description: # i3wins
        
        As the name might suggest, this is a wrapper to rofi acting as a window-switcher.
        
        I found `-show window` option to be quite slow, and would often get in the way. On another topic, I use i3 in an XFCE environment (for the PM and such)… and the virtual desktops would conflicts, and be generally weird.
        
        i3wins is fast and won't get in the way.
        
        # Pre-requisites
        
        - i3
        - rofi
        - a working python3 environment can help
        - libi3ipc (`libi3ipc-glib` on ubuntu/debian)
        
        # Installation
        
        I recommand using some virtual environments.
        
        ```bash
        python3 -m venv new_folder
        source new_folder/bin/activate
        pip install i3wins
        deactivate
        ```
        
        If you're a more yolo-oriented person : `pip install --user i3wins`
        
        You can now run : `new_folder/bin/i3wins`
        
        # Help !
        
        No help. All options you give to i3wins are directly sent to rofi. 
        
        Check rofi manpage.
        
        # Settings
        
        Here's a snippet from my i3 config:
        
        ```
        bindsym Mod1+space exec "/home/fuzzy/.local/share/virtualenvs/i3switch/bin/i3wins -kb-row-down 'Down,Control+n,Alt+space,space' -kb-accept-entry '!Alt+space,!Alt_L,!Alt+Alt_L,Return'"
        bindsym Mod1+Tab exec "/home/fuzzy/.local/share/virtualenvs/i3switch/bin/i3wins -kb-row-down 'Down,Control+n,Alt+Tab' -kb-accept-entry '!Alt+Tab,!Alt_L,!Alt+Alt_L,Return'"
        ```
        
        Feel free to use it as-is. Or modify it into oblivion.
        
        # Some explanation on the i3 config
        
        Long story made short :
        - Faster mode : Hold Alt, then press Tab as many times as needed, when you're where you want : release Tab *then* Alt.
        - Not so fast : Hold Alt, then press Tab and release Alt while still holding Tab : the window will stay there, you can search text, scroll, validate with a single press on Alt, or the good'ol Enter key
        
        You'll get used to it.
        
        # More swag
        
        ## Keys
        
        Have you noticed desktops are displayed with d1, d2, d3, … And that windows are numbered in the relevant order with 'w' ?
        
        Have you noticed how close d and w are close to the tab key ?
        
        … just saying.
        
        ## Eyes
        
        - Current desk is pink
        - Current window is yellow
        - I think you're cool
        - Have a mojito.
        
        Colors are hardcoded and were set by yours truly for ecstatic co-workers' high-fives and maximum swaginess in every situation. But they're still designed for darker themes of rofi.
        
        # Todo
        
        Handles URGENCY, Fullscreen, vim-marks and more i3-specific concepts (tree depth for examples).
