Keybinds

AmazinAxel edited this page May 8, 2026 · 15 revisions

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.
