How to use snaps? (Spotify)

#1 Post by pawRoot »

I've installed snapd, then ran command snap install spotify, it installed correctly, but how the hell do i run the snap now?

dmenu can't find spotify, and if i type spotify in terminal = command not found.

Any ideas?

In $HOME/.config/i3/config, try a line (replace key with your bind):
bindsym $mod+<key> exec snap run spotify

To make i3 load new config, default is $mod +Shift + r.

Well thats weird, it didn't work for me previously but i tried it again on new install of i3 and it works lol. I guess you can't bind some keys in i3.
Thanks anyway :)

I don't think there's limit to what you can bind. You can even use custom vendor keys.

You might want to check whether some keys are already bound for something else in the same config file. i3 is very well documented, you can find basically everything here.
