=== TERMINOLOGY
Client::
Mod1+f::
Toggle fullscreen mode.
-Mod1+s::
+Mod1+h::
Enable stacking layout for the current container.
-Mod1+d::
+Mod1+e::
Enable default layout for the current container.
+Mod1+Shift+Space::
+Toggle tiling/floating for the current window.
+
+Mod1+t::
+Select the first tiling window if the current window is floating and vice-versa.
+
Mod1+Shift+q::
-Kills the current client.
+Kills the current window. This is equivalent to "clicking on the close button", meaning a polite
+request to the application to close this window. For example, Firefox will save its session
+upon such a request. If the application does not support that, the window will be killed and
+it depends on the application what happens.
Mod1+Shift+r::
Restarts i3 in place (without losing any windows, but the layout).

== TODO
-There is lots of stuff left to do. This release is to be considered as a technology preview.
-Here is an overwiew of the most important points:
+There is still lot of work to do. Please check our bugtracker for up-to-date information
+about tasks which are still not finished.
+
+== SEE ALSO
+
+You should have a copy of the userguide (featuring nice screenshots/graphics which is why this
+is not integrated into this manpage), the debugging guide and the "how to hack" guide. If you
+are building from source, run +make -C docs+.
- * IPC
- * floating
- * do something about applications which don’t use _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN (like xpdf)
