Tiling window manager users: how exactly do you use yours?

Do you have advanced keybindings for bringing up frequently used programs?

Are there less common layouts you use frequently?

Do you use any advanced or fancy features?

Gnome + pop shell extension. Normal i3 tiling keybinds. All the following bindings include super. w for tabbed layout, f1 for calculator, f2 for Firefox, f3 for nautilus, f4 for settings, f5 for package manager. D for search which I can use like dmenu but much better. Shift+s for screenshot. Shift+q to quit application. I program with in the terminal so I need tiling for keyboard-only use. when I first used i3 I underrated tabbing. It solved nearly all of my problems with tiling.

    I have mod+c for the calculator:

    bindsym $mod+c exec --no-startup-id pgrep mate-calc && killall mate-calc || mate-calc
    

    mod+c opens it and if I press mod+c again it will close it instead. Same trick with mod+b for pavucontrol.

    edit: lemmy can't display && when I paste it as code lol
