i3 window manager ( i3.tcz ) not working

(1/1)

Leee:
At a friend's suggestion, I tried out the i3 window manager.

At first, it simply failed to run and I thought, "Wow.  That's really minimalist!"    :)    Then, after a little troubleshooting, I tried


--- Code: ---sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libev.so.4 /usr/local/lib/libev.so.3
sudo ldconfig

--- End code ---

That allowed i3 to run but I couldn't get any of the key bindings to actually do anything.

I note that libev.tcz was updated from 3.9 to 4.33 last May whereas i3.tcz was last updated in 2015.

I mention this only as matter of general interest - I have no actual intention of using i3, having realized that it's a -tiling- window manager.    :)

According to this thread http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23858.0.html the maintainer, peterc was giving up maintainership.
Per the same thread, @jshorthouse - did you have any luck with an i3 update?
