i3 Workspaces

So in i3 their is a feature where you can press $mod+workspace to go to the workspace or select the workspace from the bottem if they are already being used. I want to remove the feature where you can click on the workspace, does anyone know how this can be done?

Re: i3 Workspaces

I suppose one way would be to hide the toolbar... (see section 5.3 of the User's guide)

Re: i3 Workspaces

Use another bar than i3bar that doesn't show the workspace icons. Or patch i3bar so that it doesn't register clicks on the workspace icons. See line 320 of i3bar/src/xkb.c

http://code.stapelberg.de/git/i3/tree/i3bar/src/xcb.c
/*
 * Handle a button-press-event (i.e. a mouse click on one of our bars).
 * We determine, whether the click occured on a ws-button or if the scroll-
 * wheel was used and change the workspace appropriately
 *
 */

Re: i3 Workspaces

You can define the patched i3bar with i3bar_command, you don't need to replace the original.
