Use another key instead of SUPER for tiling #522

In my current tiling WM, I use the ALT key for all tiling-based behaviour, e.g. ALT-J / ALT-K for cycling through windows, ALT-Space for toggling fullscreen and so on. I do this because I found using the SUPER key to cause hand pain in the long term. It would be great if it was possible to configure another key, such as ALT, instead of SUPER for tiling operations.

It's already possible by going to "Input Devices"->Keyboard->"View and customize shortcuts" and adding shortcuts with the ALT key.

@rxt30, yes, but it means modifying each and every shortcut one by one. It is possible, certainly, but it could be more efficient.
