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