Yes, particularly since "shortcuts" suggests that there's a more obvious
long method.  In some environments (KDE / Gnome / whatever) that more
obvious long method would be some arcane series of menu clicks[1], but
in sawfish the keybindings aren't just short ways of accessing menu
structures.

I like "Window Rules."
