echo "Here are your keybinds, my princess:
As a note, keys like Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and the Windows key are considered \"modifiers\".
It is common practice in tiling window managers like you have here to designate a
modifier key (aka a Super key) as the main one for activating keybindings. Let's set
the Windows key as your modifier and refer to it as \"mod\" from here on out.
mod+Enter: Terminal
mod+A: Applications (show all and search)
mod+B: Browser
mod+E: File Explorer
mod+F: Fullscreen toggle
mod+Shift+Q: kill focused window (close)
mod+2: Focuses 2nd workspace
mod+3: Focuses 3rd workspace, etc
mod+Shift+2: Sends focused window to 2nd workspace
mod+Shift+3: Sends focused window to 3rd workspace, etc
mod+Shift+S: Toggles focused window between floating and tiling
mod+Escape: Lock computer and blank the screen
mod+?: Show this helper text (mod+Shift+/)
mod+/: also shows this helper text
mod+N: Quickly see calendar, weather, and notifications
mod+Y: Toggles auto-tiling
Alt+prt sc: Screenshot current window only
Special commands:
\"magic\": Works magic on bank statements
\"la\": List All (shows hidden . files, ls -a)
\"ll\": List like... everything (ls -alF)
Press Enter to close this window.
