Another word for "tweaking" is "choice", kind of like the reason we revolted and overthrew Debian. On a more practical plane, I use and love Openbox. But fact is, as it comes from the factory, Openbox sucks. Few hotkeys, wrong mouse movements, no margin. As it comes from the factory, it's a continual stream of frustrating stumbling blocks. Not to worry. I installed dmenu for lightning fast program instantiation. I changed a bunch of hotkeys and added a lot of hotkeys to accommodate a touch-typist. I have an ultra-easy (for me) key combo to run dmenu. I put a 6px margin on the left side of the screen so there's always a part of the "desktop" I can click for root menu or list of open windows. My hotkey for dmenu is Ctrl+Shift+semicolon. I bet most of you would hate that. Perhaps you'd prefer it be a simple function key. Fortunately, you can "tweak" Openbox to make the hotkey the function key of your choice. If I didn't want to tweak, I'd be using Windows, and let Microsoft tell me how to organize my workflow and work habits.
