mostly default i3 aside from
>hjkl instead of jkl;
>mod+h moved to mod+shift+v
>roman instead of arabic numerals for workspace labels
>rofi instead of dmenu
>i3blocks for statusbar
>some keybinds for thinkpad keys
>i3exit bound to ThinkVantage key
>colors

there's also this bound that I completely forgot about https://gist.github.com/iamevn/f009ea93c7773f2c4335b73876dcb42f

why on earth would you want a tiling wm

>>55905355

>>55905319
>roman instead of arabic numerals for workspace labels

>>55905724

I never have enough open for the little bit of extra width to matter.
