# i3smartfocus

`i3smartfocus` can be used in place of the default i3wm focus in order

to restore a more natural way of moving focus.

The default focus behavior will focus on the last focused window inside

a container (which might not be the chosen direction) instead of honoring

the direction chosen. `i3smartfocus` fixes this.

# Installation

```bash

sudo pip3 install i3smartfocus

```

Or simply copy [i3smartfocus.py](https://github.com/deadc0de6/i3smartfocus/blob/main/i3smartfocus/i3smartfocus.py)

somewhere in your path.

# Usage

Edit your i3 config `~/.config/i3/config` and replace the default focus tool

```bash

bindsym Mod1+Left  exec --no-startup-id "i3smartfocus left"

bindsym Mod1+Down  exec --no-startup-id "i3smartfocus down"

bindsym Mod1+Up    exec --no-startup-id "i3smartfocus up"

bindsym Mod1+Right exec --no-startup-id "i3smartfocus right"

#bindsym Mod1+Left focus left

#bindsym Mod1+Down focus down

#bindsym Mod1+Up focus up

#bindsym Mod1+Right focus right

```
