I respectfully disagree.  Users have to be converted to Ion, because
it's so unusual for a window manager.  Thus, concentrating on
like-minded users ignores the people who need Ion but don't know so.
This includes people with RSI, for instance, because Ion is so good
for mouseless usage.

The GUI configuration has nothing to do with Ion, and everything to do
with Lua.  As I said, it's not an easy language - you recommended a
book, Tuomo an online tutorial.  Why not let users do the simple
things without Lua?

OK, we agree there.  If the bindings can be imported and exported
with a simple text file, that's all I need to get started.

Thanks
