# Keymapping philosophy: # When I feel it's appropriate, I try to borrow existing KBDs from OSX or # Windows. For example, I use Ctrl+Alt+Del to start the screen lock, since this # is a really well-known KBD. One notable difference is that when I'm borrowing # OSX KBDs, I prefer using Alt instead of Super since the keyboard that I'm # using has the Alt key in the same location as the Super key on my mac # keyboard. I could rebind this, and I just may. But for now, that's worth # pointing out. # The reason behind borrowing from Windows and OSX is that some of these # keybindings are hardwired into my muscle memory. I also tend to work between # Linux and OSX quite often. Since OSX is much more difficult to remap KBDs # than it is in Linux, I prefer to support the OSX KBDs to reduce the number of # KBDs my feeble memory needs to store. set $mod Mod1 set $window Mod1+Ctrl set $super Mod4 set $terminal terminator set $browser google-chrome # Font for window titles.
