This gets us the i3 status line at the bottom. I’m going to write this as $mod although the $ is not typed it is just an indicator that whichever key is the the modifier key is variable and can change depending on your choice. I also like the little stickers that put a proper penguin over the Winders logo. I do like the key on the left between Ctrl and Alt. On start, you will be prompted to configure i3. In autostart, comment out and then save and exit. Near the top of nf, change window_manager=i3 then save and exit. I never had to hit the Shift key to get to that uppercase L for LXDE. Since it is the other one I want, I type the next character (the dash) and hit the Tab key again. If the plain LXDE directory was the right one (it is not) I could just hit the Enter key. The result is the same as typing cd LXDE (without hitting the Enter key). cd (space) and just hit the tab key is the answer here. There are two directories listed, and both begin with “LXDE”. Well, I do ll because I have set up an alias for ls -l. Essentially, we have done cd /etc/xdg/lxsession and now would be the right time to do ll One quibble I have with this video is that using tab completion is a good thing, and this step was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate it. sudo apt install dh-autoreconf libxcb-keysyms1-dev libpango1.0-dev libxcb-util0-dev xcb libxcb1-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libyajl-dev libev-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xrm0 libxcb-xrm-dev libxcb-shape0 libxcb-shape0-dev. So this one turned out to be a little more difficult than it is portrayed in the video, because since then, Git Hub has decided that passwords are bad, and I should have to log in, create a token, and use the token in place of the password. Novaspirit Tech has a nice video about how to add i3 to Raspbian. I don’t have a touch-screen so why‽‽‽ But I digress. Windows got particularly bad when the “tile” function added an extra blank column for people with touch-screens. Me messing with window sizes is a waste of my time. 
I’ve always liked tiling windows let the computer do the work for me to maximize the screen size of what I can get done. I am really liking the combination of Raspbian and i3.
