Requirements

If you are on a fresh install on Arch, use :

sudo pacman -S xorg-xinit xorg-server xorg-xrandr i3-gaps ttf-dejavu git base-devel dmenu ttf-ubuntu-font-family ttf-font-awesome python-pip archlinux-keyring alacritty firefox feh imagemagick xorg-xprop

Then,

sudo pacman -S base-devel xorg-fonts-misc
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/polybar
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/siji-git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ttf-unifont
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nerd-fonts-ubuntu-mono
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pod2man
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lemonbar-xft-git "Optional, if you want to use lemonbar instead of polybar

and you need to makepkg -si in each folder.

Installations

cd Dotfiles/
cp -r i3 polybar picom alacritty ~/.config/

You also need to compile succade and copy the binary in .config/succade/ Please visit succade repository.

Others

Firefox

To have a precise scrolling on Firefox like on Chromium, you can add this environment variable :

# ~/.bash_profile
export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1

To have firefox in full screen inside an i3 container, go to Firefox options (visit about:config) then modify this option :

full-screen-api.ignore-widgets : True

Touchpad

sudo pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptic.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"

	# For natural scrolling
	Option "VertScrollDelta"  "-111"
	Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-111"

	# Tap to click
	Option "TapButton1" "1"

	# Two finger tap to Right click
	Option "TapButton2" "3"
EndSection

Arch in a VM

This configuration also works in a Virtual Machine with Arch as guest OS on Proxmox. You can use it through SPICE by installing few more things :

sudo pacman -S qemu-guest-agent spice-vdagent
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent

At the time of writing, there is no spice-vdagent service working with systemd. spice-vdagent is started by i3. Also, GNOME is the only Desktop Environment with autoresize for Remote Viewer. A bindsym has been added to the i3 config file to trigger an autoresize. To enable both features, please uncomment those lines at the end of the config file :

#### spice-vdagent
#exec_always --no-startup-id spice-vdagent
#bindsym $mod+Shift+t exec xrandr --output Virtual-1 --auto

My dotfiles are highly inspired from Derek Taylor's dotfiles.
