Change the super key mapping

Depending on your preference (or keyboard), you may prefer a key other than Super to be used as the primary i3 keybinding. Follow these steps to update your i3 configuration:

1. Stage your own i3 config file (tutorial), then open ~/.config/regolith/i3/config in your editor of choice.
2. The first non-comment line should read set $mod Mod4 .
3. Replace Mod4 with Mod1 for alt or check here for other options.
4. If you've just staged your i3 config file, you'll need to log back in to have the changes take effect. This only needs to happen once though, and so if you've already made a copy previously and logged in since, just reload i3 with ⊞ Win-shift-r.
