Wel actually, I like to make the keybindings exactly like DWM. (I know
it will be problematic to use DVTM in DWM.)

So I don't want CTRL-C to create a new shell, I want ALT-Return to
create a new shell.

I'm not a coder, but I suppose this might need a bit of rewriting? So
this is really a feature request.
