Hmmm... I guess it's not too hard to adapt to the horizontal tiling toggle not being mod+h, and I'll admit I use hjkl most of the time (not all) when I edit in vim. The thing is though... I'm trying my hand at programming, and Sublime/Notepadqq/Atom/etc. is so much better for that than vim (which is more suited for scripting, imo). That, and I've already customized everything to my liking (to a functional standard). As much as I love vim and bash- on nano for not being as good, how often is everyone else using vim that the hjkl keys are practically commandments?
- Bash in the normal sense; I'd never write/edit bash scripts in nano. I bash on nano; vim is best bash editor.

Super Shift Q (for quit) is standard i3 binding. I agree with you on the movement keys but arrow keys are also bound to same. Actually VIM keys make no sense to me because since the 80's I have used many programs both on my old Apple II and in Dos on my original PC that used I,J,K,L. Which makes much more sense as the I is for up which is UP from the other keys. Similar to WASD used in video games but for the other hand. Several old games in the 80's used WASD for left hand controls and IJKL for right hand controls too.

I have been using Arch Linux for about 15 years and various tiling window managers for about 10 ( i3 + conky-cli for the bar for the last few years ). Now that I am getting a bit older, I find myself less inclined to do the extra work to maintain my Linux boxes - but I still want a lean and low bloat machine. It seems to me, EndeavourOS i3 version could be the very thing that I am looking for. Thank you for this, and all the other videos. You are doing a great job.

I think the fault lies within the vim devs. The jkl; is the touch typing standard and has been for a very long time. That's why there's a bump on every single keyboard on j and f. I imagine that's why the i3 devs stuck with the standard. I really don't see the point in hjkl and never will. I changed my vim setup years ago to jkl; and have never looked back. To each their own, I guess.

Dmenu can be launched with a flag that allows it to only display apps that ship with a .desktop file. If lxappearance does not have one by default it won't be in Dmenu if that flag is set. Also your i3bar was telling you that something changed on another workspace when it changed color. It didn't take you there automatically because whoever set it up didn't set it up to do so.

lxappearance-gtk3 doesn't provide a .desktop file, at least any time I've installed it on Manjaro or Arch it hasn't. Regular lxappearance does, but for some reason lxappearance-gtk3 doesn't, I was trying to open it in Manjaro GNOME and there was no lxappearance in the menu, I had to create the .desktop file for it. Either way, it's not an Endeavour bog, it's upstream.

Nonononono.... Many users DO NOT want the window manager to automatically focus on a new window. It's not unusual to launch an app for informational purposes, but not want the app focused as it would disrupt your work. However, Endeavours habit of creating all these work spaces is quite odd.

Apparently if I would've waited a couple of weeks to pull down and install i3 endeavour I would've had a VERY different install. I didnt recognize half of this and my install is not old at all. Biggest difference: kill window was default mod+shift+Q on my install. Weird they would change that.

Actually I would say RebornOS to be the true spiritual successor to Antegos, they seem to have taken the original cinchi installer and fixed it, plus added their own utilities, check it out and you will see why RebornOS is more aligned to Antegos than EndevourOS

Funny on this count DT, my main Arch (Qtile) install for daily use, complete with libre office and Gnome-boxes for testing other distros amounts to 680 packages, and that's with certain utilities that I don't necessarily need. On idle it uses about 189MB of RAM.
