 Personally, I have these bound to key combinations in i3. In fact, I have a seperate `bindsym` mode in which all these tools are accessible i.e. `$mod+i` to get to "info" mode then `p` to show pingclock.  
 There's also an i3bar_tools_threaded folder with tools for use with i3bar/i3blocks which continously update. Currently these are not working as I recently switched from this as primary, to a secondary choice.
