Hello,

I would like to bind [ and ( keys as well as some Czech keys like ú (u with acute). How to do that? Thanks!

xev gives me the following names that seem to work in .i3/config:
( parensleft
[ bracketleft
{ braceleft

:/left/right/ for each the closing equivalent.

I don't know much about czech characters, but ä (a umlaut) for example is "adiaeresis".

Oh right, xev! How could I forget. Thanks!
