(Taken from Clay Barnes' blog entry)

These bindings were originally designed to prove that all window managments functions could be effectivly replaced by modifier keys and the number pad. Eventually they were ported to a vaguely vi-styled main keyboard design.

Note that the images do not document the direct-to workspace bindings or several redundant/transitional extra bindings:

W-F[n] goes to workspace [n]
W-C-F[n] goes to workspace [n] bringing the currently selected application along
W-C-F[n] sends the currently selected application to workspace [n]
W-tab/W-S-tab emulate traditional alt-tab designs
W-backslash/W-S-backslash switch to the next/previous workspaces
W-T opens a terminal
and several others (see the xml)

<!--  Clay's keybindings: "Collision-Free Commanding"
A prototype interaction paradigm based off of muscle-memory and vi-style 
bindings, and designed to avoid any key binding collisions with programs, 
all interactions (that could possibly be sent to an application) include 
the Super/Meta4 key (often labled the "Windows Key").

Alternate Vim-style ctrl-w Bindings

Since I am extremely lazy and have a poor memory, I wanted even more Vim-like windows bindings than the above example. I came up with the following which tries to closely emulate the regular Vim ctrl-w multi-window controls, substituting the Windows key for ctrl.

This is not a complete rc.xml, the following should be placed within your regular <keyboard></keyboard> section. I only use four virtual desktops, so you'll need to add additional lines if you use more.


    <keybind key="W-w">
        <!-- "Move the cursor to other windows" to move windows -->
        <keybind key="h"><action name="MoveToEdgeWest"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="l"><action name="MoveToEdgeEast"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="j"><action name="MoveToEdgeSouth"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="k"><action name="MoveToEdgeNorth"/></keybind>
        <!-- This a fudge, as there isn't a great Vim equivalent -->
        <keybind key="equal"><action name="MoveToCenter"/></keybind>

        <!-- "Move the window" to grow windows -->
        <keybind key="S-h"><action name="GrowToEdgeWest"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-l"><action name="GrowToEdgeEast"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-j"><action name="GrowToEdgeSouth"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-k"><action name="GrowToEdgeNorth"/></keybind>

        <!-- the following blocks have fairly canonical Vim equivalents -->
        <keybind key="S-bar"><action name="ToggleMaximizeHorz"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-underscore"><action name="ToggleMaximizeVert"/></keybind>

        <keybind key="S-less"><action name="ResizeRelative"><left>2</left></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-greater"><action name="ResizeRelative"><right>2</right></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-plus"><action name="ResizeRelative"><top>2</top></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="minus"><action name="ResizeRelative"><bottom>2</bottom></action></keybind>

        <keybind key="o"><action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="c"><action name="Close"/></keybind>
        <keybind key="p"><action name="DesktopLast"/></keybind>

        <!-- "Split windows" to send them to nearby destops, "vertical splits" don't follow
             Use a "count" to send a window to a specific desktop.
             Special case: using a capital when using a "count" sends the window to a specific monitor. -->
        <keybind key="s"><action name="SendToDesktopNext"><follow>yes</follow></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-s"><action name="SendToDesktopPrevious"><follow>yes</follow></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="v"><action name="SendToDesktopNext"><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>
        <keybind key="S-v"><action name="SendToDesktopPrevious"><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>

        <keybind key="1">
            <keybind key="s"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>1</desktop><follow>yes</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="v"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>1</desktop><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="S-s"><action name="MoveResizeTo"><monitor>1</monitor></action></keybind>
        </keybind>
        <keybind key="2">
            <keybind key="s"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>2</desktop><follow>yes</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="v"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>2</desktop><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="S-s"><action name="MoveResizeTo"><monitor>2</monitor></action></keybind>

            <keybind key="v"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>3</desktop><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="S-s"><action name="MoveResizeTo"><monitor>3</monitor></action></keybind>
        </keybind>
        <keybind key="4">
            <keybind key="s"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>4</desktop><follow>yes</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="v"><action name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>4</desktop><follow>no</follow></action></keybind>
            <keybind key="S-s"><action name="MoveResizeTo"><monitor>4</monitor></action></keybind>
