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?

I mostly work in qtile in a fullscreen layout or a diagonal split between two windows. My hotkeys are super+d for rofi in dmenu mode and super+q for a shutdown menu also in rofi.

    I use mod+enter or mod+~ (the key is called grave) to open rofi

    mod+q closes the program while mod+shift+q opens rofi-power-menu which is what I use to reset, shutdown, logout, etc

    mod+d is part of my navigation keys, that way I can move focus or programs around with just the left hand:

    mod+esdf to move focus

    mod+shift+esdf to move the window

    mod+control+esdf to resize the window
