As of right now, the actions which can be run in the config file and the actions which can be run
as a keybinding are parsed separately in parse.c. This leads to a lot of code duplication. Furthermore, unifying these functionalities would enable a more versatile configuration. For instance,
it would enable the user to write hsplit into the configuration file to split the output on startup and
workspace 2 to set the default workspace to workspace 2. Therefore, this change would simplify the code base, while at the same time increasing the feature set.
PS: As a side effect, this would allow quirky statements such as bind d bind r hsplit which would bind the d key to binding the r key to split the output...
