It would > be really great to see such a feature implemented right now there is no context for the edge flip - its specific to desktop flipping and not generically bindable as e removes the edge trap windows if there is no way you can flip desktops so these are hooked to knowledge of the virtual desktop state. > - also, about the keybindings: the key sequence discovery is awesome, > but i'm having some trouble: i defined extra keys in an .Xmodmap, such > as the Fn key (it's a laptop), whose presses are detected; still, i > cannot use it as multi touch sequence, only the keypress is detected > (i'd like to use Fn as a "win key").

Hope? :) IF its a valid keysym when e starts - then the binding will work, once entered - but if you xmodmap the keys after e has started - it might not work as the keysyms dont exist yet. also u will need to map fn to a modifier key and tell x its a modifier (win). generally speaking fn keys on laptops never are visible to the os and are internal tot he kbd itself. > Thanks a lot.
