TODO [Bug] Avoid firing before-change-functions on every redisplay

On every redisplay the indicator is recalculated using format-spec which happens to trigger before-change-functions despite working in a temporary buffer. It's unclear whether the bug is in code hooking before-change-functions, before-change-functions considering temporary buffers or using an function with an :eval spec. Suppose the latter, the following changes need to be done:

• Use a variable holding the mode line indicator.
• Ensure the variable is rendered correctly in the mode line (it might be necessary to mark it as risky variable).
• Add code to all commands modifying the indicator state to update the variable.

TODO [Feature] Add commands for moving window configs in frame

The easiest way this could turn out is like in i3, with a command to move the window config from one slot to another one. Essentially renaming and reordering. The C-M- prefix could be used for predefined commands.

TODO [Feature] Add commands for moving window configs across frames

Not sure how this should be designed. There's a few problems:

• It's hard to identify frames by a textual description, something like using visual indicators (like putting a colored frame or overlaying a big number) might fix this.
• Specifying both slot to move to and frame can be tedious. There's a funny way of doing that with i3 where slots are numbered across frames and window configs can be moved to a slot belonging to a frame.

TODO [Enhancement] Improve documentation with screencasts

Common workflows should be shown with GIFs displaying the modeline indicator, keys and commands used.
