+ Capslock is now an alternative escape. Makes vim-craft much more efficient. + Capslock is a useless key in high quality space. It's now remapped. If you press it alone, it will function as escape, making vimcraft much more natural, but you can also hold it down and it will act as another Windows/super/mod key.
+ The menu button (usually between the right Alt and Ctrl) is an alternative Super/Mod button. This is to make one-handing on my laptops easier. + The menu button (usually between the right Alt and Ctrl) is an alternative Super/Mod button. This is to make one-handing on my laptops easier.
+ The rice also uses the US International keyboard by default. This allows you to type a lot of characters in many different European languages.

# The Polybar Status Bar If you'd like to change any of these keyboard changes, you need only open and change `~/.scripts/remaps`. Actually, this should go without saying, but *everything* here can easily be changed.
## The Polybar Status Bar
If you're new to i3, notice the status bar on the top of the screen. This is Polybar. To the left side, you'll see the numbers of your current workspace(s). If you have a song playing in mpd, its name will appear to the left as well. On the right side, you'll see various system status notifiers, date, CPU tempurature, remaining hard drive space, etc. I'm sure you can figure it out. Several modules will be click-sensitive, although if you're using my system as indended, you probably won't be doing much clicking.

# Explore and customize # Other Housekeeping
Don't like something about the rice? Change it. If you have a problem, try figuring it out yourself, but if you can't, ask on my YouTube or by my email.
EDIT: July 31, 2017. All the feedback I've gotten is tremendous and I'm glad this has gotten so many people into customization!
# Common questions
## How do I change the background/wallpaper? ## How do I change the background/wallpaper?
The easiest way is to use ranger, navigate to the file you want as your background, and press `bg`. To be specific, i3 will always be looking to the file in `~/.config/wall.png` for the wallpaper, this ranger command copies the given file there and reruns feh to update it.

## How do I set up my email?
1. Create a GPG private/public key pair if you haven't already.
2. Type `muttwizard` in the terminal and follow the directions, specifically:
a. Add an account.
b. Run `offlineimap -o` in the terminal.
c. Select the "Autodetect mailboxes" option.
You should then be able to open your mail in mutt with Mod+e. And this is somewhat of a miracle considering all of the moving pieces that have come together to make this happen. Honestly, people give me all this credit for making LARBS, but the mutt-wizard is probably my favorite work.
You might also want to run `notmuch setup` to set `notmuch` up as a mailindexer. This will allow quick searches of your mail in mutt with ctrl+f.
## How do I set up my music?
By default, mpd, the music daemon assumes that `~/Music` is your music directory. This can be changed in `~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf`. When you add music to your music folder, you may have to run `mpc up` in the terminal to update the database. mpd is controled by ncmpcpp, which is accessible by Mod+m.
