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 baby lil brother made the switch in just a few days!
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)
