Mango!

After a full day of reading documentation, trial and error, and shamefully turning to AI, I think I finally have MangoWM working well.

The keyboard I use doesn't have traditional arrow keys (they're hidden under Fn keys), so I had to set up new bindings for Vim keys for navigation and window management. Had to add in audio/media bindings as well. Figured out how to implement my less-than-normal monitor configuration (over/under).

The strangest one was Alt+A, which by default toggles maximize for the selected windows. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, however when playing Ready or Not, Alt+A is how you lean left. Silly conflict, but super easy to fix.

I think this may mean I'm done with Niri for the time being. This is thankfully working much better than Hyprland, and the dots are significantly easier to understand and modify.

Any other window manager folks floating around out there? What are you all running?
