1. I'm really used to using the alt-tab for window switching. How can I set alt-tab to work for switching windows like before? Just to reiterate, even though I set mob to be "super key" before, I would like alt-tab to work as usual, like in vanilla xmonad.
You can still bind things explicitly using mod1Mask instead of mod4Mask or the convenience modMask. See below. 2. And two, I would like there to be a mod key on the right side of the
keyboard too. So I decided to use the "menu key" for that. How do I map my "menu key" to be mod too?
This is a little more involved, since we rely on X11's keyboard handling instead of trying to interpret nonportable keycodes directly. The Menu key is not a modifier key in common X11 keymaps, but is bound to xK_Menu. You need to undo this, either using Xkb (a crawling horror which is "recommended" but which even those who recommend it do not fully understand) or xmodmap; I use the latter.
