I like it. The chroot functionality is extremely useful, but if you want 
to have the same movement keys everywhere then it adds a lot of bloat to 
the configuration. I think I've got something similar to mato's example 
in at least two or three places in my rc.xml, because I use movement 
keys to resize and move windows.
