Your request spurred me into doing something I've been thinking about
for a while. I customised some config files and attached them. Chuck
them in your ~/.ion3/ directory (if you're using ion3) and have a play
around (after backing up what you've got in there already of course).
They are pretty different from the default stuff, but...you'll get used
to it.
Note: I did these quickly and there may be some conflicts (although I
don't think they are). There's also some hardwired keys, like Alt+F4
and Alt+Tab which isn't elegant but works. Modify cfg_ion.lua ION_KEY,
ION_COMBO and ION_MOD to your taste.
