MAJOR CHANGES: Review sxhkd and make it modular
Work in progress, which requires further testing and might not be merged
into `master`…
1. Review several key bindings that control BSPWM. Specifically:
1. Simplify the navigation through the node focus history. Remove
some keys, refine the behaviour of others. Cycling through the
available nodes is desktop-specific and uses the familiar Alt and
Tab combo.
2. Add support for swapping the current window with the biggest one
on the current desktop (super + {b,z}). Doing this while also
holding down the shift key will switch back to the last focused
window.
2. Create a new set of key chords that, once active, do not require
repeated key presses that involve the modifiers. I call this
"continuous mode" and thus start all chord chains with "super + c".
This is the inline description I wrote:
The following key chords have a colon sign `:' before their last
part. By pressing the keys to the left of the colon, you can
then pass the commands by only using the keys to the right of the
colon. This eliminates the need for repeated chord presses that
involve the modifier keys. Exit the mode with "Escape".
An example is in order. In my config, there is a definition which
allows you to resize gaps by holding down "super + shift" and then
pressing either of the brackets. The left bracket decrements the gap
size, while the right bracket increments it. Every action requires
you to keep pressing all those keys together. Whereas in "continuous
mode", you would activate the mode with "super + c" and then
{de,in}crement the gaps by only pressing the brackets. No need for
holding down any modifier keys.
3. Create domain-specific configuration files. Currently there are two:
(i) one with BSPWM-specific commands, (ii) another with WM-agnostic
ones. The intention of the multiple configs (aka "modules") is to
improve readability. This is the area that requires more testing.
