# This below snippet should be added to your i3 config file, for example, ~/.config/i3/config, but only after you have written
# the full path to xrandrctly.py (or minixrandrctl.py) on your system in place of /home/my_name/my_scripts/xrandrctl.py



# Add a 'display' mode to i3, bound to mod+braceleft and exited using the Escape or Return keys.
# In this mode, the arrow keys may be used to change the brightness & gamma of all screens.
