## Default hotkeys
### General description
The hotkeys, as you can set them in `Config.ini`, are noted in the format
`Config_hotkey=<modifier><key>::<function>(<argument>)`; you may copy the
string from ` ` and use it as a template for a new line in `Config.ini`.
Possible modifiers are the following:
* `!` <kbd>Alt</kbd>
* `^` <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, Control
* `#` <kbd>Win</kbd> / LWin, the left Windows key
* `+` <kbd>Shift</kbd>
You will have to press all keys of a hotkey at the same time beginning with the
modifier for calling the associated function, e.g. `#^q` means pressing the
left 'Windows key' and the 'Control key' and the 'Q key'
(<kbd>Win</kbd><kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>Q</kbd>) for quitting bug.n.
### Window management

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#+Up::View_shuffleWindow(0, -1)`
_Move_ the active window _to the previous position_ in the window list of the
view.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#+Enter::View_shuffleWindow(1)`
_Move_ the active window _to the first position_ in the window list of the
view.
> You may also move the active window to any other absolute position in the
window list by using the first parameter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#c::Manager_closeWindow()`
_Close_ the active window.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_Show / Hide the title bar_ of the active window.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#+f::View_toggleFloatingWindow()`

> The floating status effects the tiling of the active window (i.e. dis- /
regard it).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^m::Manager_minimizeWindow()`
_Minimize_ the active window.
> This implicitly sets the window to be floating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_Move and resize_ the active window _to_ the size of the _work area_.
> This implicitly sets the window to be floating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^d::Debug_setLogLevel(0, -1)`

> You may also set an additional parameter for accelerating the third one. E.g.
with `Config_hotkey=#Left::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, -0.05, 2)` the
first step, by which the master area is reduced, is -0.0016% and will be
doubled with consecutive calls until it reaches -0.05%.
With the second parameter you may set an absolute value, e.g.
`View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0.5, 0)` splits the view in half.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#Right::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, +0.05)`
_Enlarge_ the size of _the master area_ in the active view.
> This has only an effect, if the tile layout is active.
> You may also set a additional parameter for accelerating the third one. E.g.
with `Config_hotkey=#Right::View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0, +0.05, 0.5)` the
first step, by which the master area is reduced, is 0.05%, but with consecutive
calls it will be halved until it reaches 0.0016%.
With the second parameter you may set an absolute value, e.g.
`View_setLayoutProperty(MFactor, 0.67, 0)` makes the master area two thirds
and the stacking area one third the size of the view.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^t::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +1, 1)`

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^Tab::View_setLayoutProperty(Axis, 0, +1, 2)`
Rotate the master axis.
> I.e. 3 -> 1 = x-axis = horizontal stack, 1 -> 2 = y-axis = vertical stack,

> This results in an increased number of windows in the master area by X.
Maximum of 9.
> This has only an effect, if the tile layout is active.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`Config_hotkey=#^Down::View_setLayoutProperty(MY, 0, -1)`
