+# 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.
+
+### Super-
+
+- EXWM X11 windows are not processing `s-`.
+- EXWM X11 windows are not processing `<M-ESC>`.
+
+### Super-Ctrl-
+
+I'm reserving `C-s-` for opening X11 applications.
+
+- `terminator`: `t`
+- `google-chrome`: `c`
+
+## 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 sizing
+- `M-{h,j,k,l}`: Window traversing
+- `M-{\,-}`: Window splitting
+- `M-q`: Window deletion
+- `<leader>-q`: Window deletion
