You mean ~/.config/i3/config ?
Please be more explicit … what exactly have you tried? What files have you modified?
that file /etc/skel/.i3/config
/etc/skel is used as template when you create a new user. It has zero effects on your user account.
i change in the /etc/i3/config and don’t work
i dont have this file ~/.config/i3/config
man i3
When starting, i3 looks for configuration files in the following order:
1. ~/.config/i3/config (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3/config if set)
2. /etc/xdg/i3/config (or $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/i3/config if set)
3. ~/.i3/config
4. /etc/i3/config
You can specify a custom path using the -c option.
Are you sure?
Its there by default.

now i edit the ~/.i3/config and it work thank you cscs and megavolt for reply
