  Side note: I am really enjoying HN today with the set of stories with personal hacks like this i3-emacs integration, someone's desk setup, someone's writer-deck laptop install, the kinda hilarious but also hecka geeky thermal ttrpg thingamabob, and the 16 byte wake up demo. Fun geeky stuff that isn't AI,and I love AI, but it ain't everything.

  I've started using ewm to get this kind of unification between emacs window management and non-emacs window management.

  I just use super(win key)/hyper (bound to capslock) for i3-related commands and leave emacs to its own devices with normal binds

    There can never be too many modifier keys:

    Yes, I am misunderstanding the problem. The windows/mac command key leave shift, control and alt free for i3.

    Yeah this is what I do. This article feels like crazy overengineering for something that's not really a problem

      A dedicated key for all window-manager things is what people that have thought about it do (I use the "windows" key). But keyboard manufacturers haven't thought about it, so sometimes reasonable things aren't possible. I don't know.
