I3 in docker-webtop

Hi all, I really love the docker-webtop project. The performance is honestly amazing, and I love that it’s responsive to resizing the browser window.

I see that there are images for i3wm (e.g. debian-i3). They work as expected, but I haven’t been able to find a super key that works in the browser. The default options don’t work for me. I don’t mind manually editing configuration, or even remapping keys if I must, but my attempts here have all failed. Is anyone successfully using an i3 image of webtop?

Ignore the nginx tag. I had to pick one and no options were relevant.

alt is better than meta but there are OS level things that a browser can never block like alt+tab among others and it all depends on your underlying operating system and the web browser you are using.
It would be trial and error and editing the i3 config to find something you like. I personally do not use tiling wms but it is all theoretically possible if you can re-learn certain shortcuts and modify them to a map that will not escape the browser window.
