Ah, they're not copy-paste though -- they're in the default Config.

Perhaps an alternative would be to make it easier to refer to actions by 
the keys that call them in the default config, which is sort of awkward 
currently. The goal would be remapping sort of like in vim. Here's a 
sketch:

> fromDefaultConfig   :: (ButtonMask, KeySym) -> (X ())
> fromDefaultConfig k = fromMaybe (return ()) $ Map.lookup k $ keys dcl dcl
>   where
>     dcl = defaultConfig { layoutHook = Layout $ layoutHook defaultConfig }

I can't see myself using this, but it could simplify rearranging keys as those
configs do.
