OXWM supports multi-key sequences (Emacs/Vim style). Example: Mod+Space then T to spawn terminal.
oxwm.key.chord({ "Mod4" }, "space", {
{ {}, "t", oxwm.spawn("st") },
{ {}, "b", oxwm.spawn("firefox") },
})
All keybindings can be customized in your config.lua. See the Configuration page for details.
