I'd like to point out that this article is inaccurate as far as official #Xfce development goes.
The merge mentioned in this article is for an unsupported fork of #xfwm4
At this point, there are no plans to take these commits and merge them into the xfwm4 repository at https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4
As far as I can tell, this was kinda sorta retracted/corrected in the comments.
In preparation for some other #documentation that I am currently working on, I "accidentally" managed to build a page of #Xfce keyboard shortcuts for the #xfwm4 window manager and some default application shortcuts.
Perhaps it will be useful.

@Anarcat The #wayland protocol devs should step up and thank #sway developers, who did not need to do the extra work to create wlroots wayland library, which has largely saved the entire wayland ecosystem and allowed it to have a chance. @xfce for example in 4.19 I believe is using wlroots in #xfwm4 if I'm not mistaken. But it still leaves 6 primary compositor libraries to deal with, plus any number of minor ones.
I honestly don't know where we'd be if it were not for the work of #sway
