Some thoughts in no particular order:

- This layout does not use the arrow keys at all. Those are a pretty
  natural target for WM navigation, and I think they should be utilized.
  The arrow keys could do the same things as some of your other bindings
  to give the user a choice. As an example, I have

  - meta-left/right cycles tabs
  - meta-up/down cycles workspaces
  - meta-shift-left/right cycles screens


- With your proposed bindings, how does one move objects between
  containers? Specifically one should be able to move

  - windows between frames and
  - workspaces between screens

  One way to do that is to tag/attach. In your proposed list I don't see
  a way to move workspaces between screens; am I just not seeing it?

- In your reference page does "attract" mean "attach"?

- In your proposed bindings is meta-z same as meta-k k in the current
  defaults? There needs to be some way to bring up the focuslist.


Finally, it would be great to maintain some compatibility with other
similar WMs. As far as I can tell, awesome is the current king of the
hill, so how about we simply co-opt their defaults for our defaults?
Their default bindings are here:

Not all of our functions have analogues in their world, and vice versa,
but for functions that do have analogues, I think we should match them.
