The big thing that's often bad about keyboard shortcuts is discoverability. It is pretty rare that applications have a sort of "you've pressed one key, here's a list of actions whose chords start with that key" pop-up, or even just a convinient list of all defined shortcuts.

While tiling window management is traditionally all about keyboard-only purism, one of the things that makes `niri` (which is my only window (pardon the pun) into the scrolling WM world) feel nice is that it actually utilises touchpad gestures.
