Keybindings
Since I'm using Emacs to manage most of my workflow, all of the keybindings should be defined herein and -- in order to scale -- order must be imposed. This can help avoid KBD collisions and improve my ability to remember each KBD.
See kbd.el
for the programmatic encoding of these principles.
Troubleshooting
When in doubt, use Emacs's read-key
and read-event
to learn what signal
you're sending Emacs.

Emacs nouns
Most of my keybindings should be organized according to their function, which in turn should be related to the following Emacs nouns.
workspace
: As defined by EXWM.frame
: What non-Emacs users would call a "window". Currently my workflow doesn't use or rely on Emacs frames.window
: A vertical or horizontal split within an Emacs frame.buffer
: Anything storing text in memory.
Prefixes and their meanings
TODO: Have a system for leader-prefixed KBDs, chords, and prefixed chords.
s-
: Switching between named workspaces. Right now, super is too overloaded and would benefit from having more deliberate keybindings.C-M-
: Window sizingM-{h,j,k,l}
: Window traversingM-{\,-}
: Window splittingM-q
: Window deletion<leader>-q
