As you can bind multiple commands to a key, you could also do this: bindsym $mod+Control+Shift+k focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, focus parent, kill Add more `focus parent, `, if you are stacking more than ten levels deep.
