I use ion as my window manager and on a new Ubuntu installation I decided to use ion3 instead of ion2 as on all my other installations. I don't like the standard ion configuration which hijacks all my function keys, but that was easily fixed by changing /etc/default/ion3 to
META="Mod1+" ALTMETA="Mod4+"
This uses the otherwise useless "Windows" key for options which previously had no modifier.
Then, to set the terminal emulator I want,
# update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
and select uxterm, an xterm that knows about UTF8.
Then, I like to use Control-Left and Control-Right to move between objects within frames. This is done by adding the following as ~/.ion3/default-session--0/cfg_user.lua
defbindings("WFrame", {
bdoc("Switch to next/previous object within the frame."),
kpress("Control+Right", "WFrame.switch_next(_)"),
kpress("Control+Left", "WFrame.switch_prev(_)"),
})
