    Read the endeavouros i3 config file here, it's full of very helpful comments that will explain most of the i3 config and the i3wm site will tell you all the default keybindings. Another option is to use something like autotiling which is also in the AUR.
  • Do you always confuse split modes too?

    I come from bspwm, so I use autotiling https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling for that. It seems to do the same thing your script does.

    You could try using this autotiling script.
