Brandon,

Sorry to be a pain, but for the life of me I can't get this to work.  I
modified the .config/i3/config file to use Mod2 and tried every combination
of the input checkboxes in the XQuartz preferences.  I figured out how
full-screen works (you turn it on and then use either the menu or
command-option-A to toggle between) and was unable to get it working there
as well.

I modified the .config/i3/config file to fiddle with the size of the
titlebar font and that was picked up so clearly the file is being read.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the version of i3 or possibly XQuartz
not playing nicely with 10.11.2 (El Capitan)?

The one odd thing I'm seeing is that I am getting an odd error message
running i3-config-wizard:

i3-config-wizard: xkb_keymap_key_get_syms_by_level returned no symbols for
keycode 116

Any other suggestions?  Sorry again to bug you.


Thanks,
Bryan
