Keybinds
If you are switching from a non-keyboard oriented way of using a computer, I'll admit that having to learn new keybinds for everything is annoying.
If you're used to a tiling WM already, the keybinds are pretty much the defaults (except for the shell stuff and the lack of vim homerow keybinds which I plan to add soon when I switch to neovim)
I can promise you that once you get the hang of these keybinds, it'll feel natural and you'll be super fast. My little brother made the switch in just a few days. If he can, you can too.
Note that the screenshot key is just the print screen key, there's no alias for that. The Super key is equivalent to the Windows key (if you're on a Mac keyboard and want to configure it to be Command, you can change that in the sway config)

A note about getting AI assistance: Especially with deeper low level config, less intelligent AI models can overcomplicate and bloat the codebase with poor/hacky configuration. If you are going to use AI to modify this flake for you, I highly encourage you to understand the changes its making. AI is a great tool for learning Nix for the first time, but I suggest that you actively learn and understand from what its doing, consult the Nix search and don't be dependent on it.
If it helps to talk to a real person, I am always available to help you with any Nix/NixOS-related questions! (@amazinaxel on Discord)
