OK, I'll have a go. I won't paste my whole config file, as that could well overwhelm you with irrelevant nonsense (and I'm embarassed about how much of a mess some of it is :-).
Let's see, I'll paste sections of my config file, with some commentary in between
First of all, the ad-hoc spread of keybindings was driving me insane, so I hacked up something which allows me to define keybindings in tabular form. This gives me a convenient overview of my current keybindings and really helps with selecting new keybindings or coming up with a sensible set of bindings that works for me. (For the sake of brevity I've elided some of the action wrapper definitions from the /where/ section, leaving mostly the ones related to window/workspace manipulation):
Please, can you upload your config file somewhere? It looks like a mess here =/. PS.- I'm curious, which client are you using to have those "named" quotes?
