Well I guess our opinions differ in this area. Sure, collisions with
apps are annoying, but using non-standard keys is just a plain mistake
(it would be just as stupid as using mousebutton 6 and 7 in the
default setup).
Default should definitely mean 'acceptable' for all people, not just
most. What you are suggesting is a default that is 'perfect' to some,
but completely unusable for others.
You convinced me. I can live with s/Alt/Mod4/. Let it be my sacrifice for masses ;)
BTW. In wmii-2.5 there was 'bare' key mode, which I miss sometimes...
