Is it possible to define multi-key bindings, a la screen's C-a <whatever> or emacs C-x <whatever>? The end result being that you type one key, release it, then type another, in order to execute an action.
You can define custom modes and handle key bindings that way.
For example:
bind Ctrl+A mode "command"
mode "command" {
bindsym t exec xterm; mode "default"
bindsym Escape mode "default"
}
When you press Ctrl+A i3-bar will show "commmand" and then you can just press only t and that will execute Xterm and exit command mode.
