Brandon,

Sorry to be a pain, but for the life of me I can't get this to work.  I modified the .config/i3/config file to use Mod2 and tried every combination of the input checkboxes in the XQuartz preferences.  I figured out how full-screen works (you turn it on and then use either the menu or command-option-A to toggle between) and was unable to get it working there as well.

I modified the .config/i3/config file to fiddle with the size of the titlebar font and that was picked up so clearly the file is being read.  I'm not sure if this is an issue with the version of i3 or possibly XQuartz not playing nicely with 10.11.2 (El Capitan)?

The one odd thing I'm seeing is that I am getting an odd error message running i3-config-wizard:

i3-config-wizard: xkb_keymap_key_get_syms_by_level returned no symbols for keycode 116

Any other suggestions?  Sorry again to bug you.


Thanks,
Bryan

I have the i3 window manager coming up now when I start XQuartz; however, the meta keypress isn't making it through to the window manager.  If I use Command as the meta key in the config or if I use Alt (Option), I get the same results.

Linux X11 assigns the Win/Command key as modifier 4; XQuartz puts it on modifier 2 (which on Linux is Num Lock). I think you can use Xkb or xmodmap to alter this if necessary.

As for Alt, you need to look at "Option keys send Alt_L and Alt_R" in Preferences > Input. That should put them on mod5, same as Linux.

You should probably *disable* "Enable key equivalents" so things like Command-C are not "eaten" by XQuartz.
