...

Research direction
The existing throw space shortcuts are implemented in the keybinding configuration. Examine the codebase for how keybindings are registered and handled, likely in a file like Keybindings.swift or similar. Consider adding new keybindings for focus space by mirroring the throw space implementation but with a different modifier key (mod1 instead of mod2). Look at the issue comments for any existing discussion on implementation details.
