+Create a command palette accessible with MOD+P (MOD => Windows Key)
+	(ie make fullscreen, send to monitor, etc)
+
+Make each monitor's window styling slightly different (just for fun)
+
+Bind 5 workspaces per connected monitor.
+	Then use the command palette (discussed prior) to send to
+	a different workspace (ie because I currently use MOD+SHIFT+n
+	but if n>=10 then it doesnt work! hence we need a command palette!)
