left := <h> | <cursor-left>
right := <l> | <cursor-right>
with := <w> { [ <times> ] <where> }+ <space> <cmd>
jump := [ "<window class>[/<window title>]" | <workspace> [ <column> <row> ] ]
focus := focus [ <times> | floating | tiling | ft ]
-(travels the focus stack backwards the given amount of times (by default 1), so
- it selects the window which had the focus before you focused the current one when
- specifying "focus 1".
- The special values 'floating' (select the next floating window), 'tiling'
- (select the next tiling window), 'ft' (if the current window is floating,
- select the next tiling window and vice-versa) are also valid)

you can cancel command mode by pressing escape anytime.
