  • Simple Python Script To Restore Your i3 Session
    1 project | /r/i3wm | 2 Aug 2022
    Hello everyone. I want to introduce you to a small python script I have been working on. This script allows you to automatically save your i3 session and restore it exactly how it was after starting i3 again (granted you follow the README). It was inspired by Firefox's restore session feature and is written to work like that. The GitHub repository can be found here.
