+Available Modifiers:

+Mod1-Mod5, Shift, Control::
+Standard modifiers, see +xmodmap(1)+
+
+Mode_switch::
+Unlike other window managers, i3 can use Mode_switch as a modifier. This allows
+you to remap capslock (for example) to Mode_switch and use it for both: typing
+umlauts or special characters 'and' having some comfortably reachable key
+bindings. For example, when typing, capslock+1 or capslock+2 for switching
+workspaces is totally convenient. Try it :-).

-It is recommended that you match on window classes whereever possible because some applications
-first create their window and then care about setting the correct title. Firefox with Vimperator
-comes to mind, as the window starts up being named Firefox and only when Vimperator is loaded,
-the title changes. As i3 will get the title as soon as the application maps the window (mapping
-means actually displaying it on the screen), you’d need to have to match on Firefox in this case.
