Meta+shift+q to close all windows in focused workspace Clan. :)

What? Are you telling me that you use one window per workspace?

I have one with 2, but I rarely need to close them at the same time, and when I do, I just hit Meta+Q twice.

ah well, I just close all windows at once very rarely anyway but its useful.

mod+shift+q so you wouldn't close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_ keybinds)

I agree its safer, but is so unconvinient and slower when you are opening and closing back and forth. Because of it I have left most of the left side of the keyboard keybindless. I guess you have to compromise. Actually come to think of it, most settings in a PC workflow are compromised.

That's the way.

Though you could also use shift to discern between sigterm and sigkill.

Why move the mouse when you have your hands over the keyboard anyway

When I was using Gmome I also used that for some time but I can't remember why I made the change to "meta+q" for some reason it was inconvenient.

If someone is asking what the “mod” key is telling them that it’s the “super” key probably won’t help them much. On most keyboards it’s bound to the windows key

1

Well mod key can mean the ones around it

And while some keyboards have a Windows logo there, some don’t

1

Mod 1-4 (or 5 not sure...) Are the modifier keys, like Alt, Ctrl, etc... In this case Mod is the Super Key or Meta Key.

On my laptop where I do most of my work I have Ctrl+q but on my desktop I play silly little computergames on I changed it to ALT+q after accidentally closing one of the aforementioned games

I don't know, I think it's quite buggy using a tiling window manager. App dialog window sometimes end up the size of applications. But with a lot of config, I guess you can get a smooth system.

And if it annoys you enough it's one line in your config to fix forever. I love i3 so much.

Its not buggy, every app its responsible of placing window parameter to comunicate with the window manager, the problem is developers make apps for regular DE with floating WMs. And yes as you said a little reaserch and some config can fix it.
