Below is the default i3 configuration file, with some keybindings replaced by their i3ass equivalents. Its a good starting point if you want to try i3ass and i3fyra.
# Mod4 also known as the windows manager key
set $mod Mod4
set $left Left
set $down Down
set $up Up
set $right Right
# hackerman VI-navigation (enable with caution)
# set $left h
# set $down j
# set $up k

# bloated workspace name variables from the OG config
