i3 config generation tool
Project description
i3configger
Generate i3 config files from a set of partial config files in a config folder. Do some nifty conditional integration and variable resolution (aslo for i3status configs). This makes switching of themes (optical or key bindings or whatever) possible and things like having per host settings.
Example
I use this generate my own config. See my i3 config: .i3/config.d
The call:
$ i3configger --select-host=$(hostname) --select-theme=solarized-dark
Creates config and i3status.main.conf from the sources.
Features
build main config and one or several i3status configs from the same sources
render variables slightly more intelligently than i3 does it
also render variables in i3status configs (set anywhere in the sources)
reload or restart i3 when a change has been done (using i3-msg)
notify when new config has been created and activated (using notify-send)
conditional building of config depending on settings
simple way to communicate settings to renderer
build config as one shot script or watch for changes (foreground and daemon)
Some things are still in the air - see notes.
