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.

Ah no video it action??

Very interesting though. I don’t always read entire posts on blogs but this one I did. Lisp looks really interesting.

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

I keep trying it (coming from EXWM) but I get lots of lag, stutters, and poor fractional scaling. I'm not sure how much of that is "GTK under wayland", Emacs's PGTK build (known to have lag/rendering issues), AMD kernel drivers (?), or EWM itself; but it's not yet a replacement for EXWM in my experience.

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

That's fine as far as it goes, but I don't think that gets you what this article is for, which is things like using the same binding context-dependently to navigate between emacs splits and regular window manager windows, context-dependently. Which is a fun bit of overengineering.

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.
