Altered from the default slate configs at https://github.com/jigish/slate/blob/master/Slate/default.slate

Main changes are commenting out things I don't use like 'nudging' window sizes, and changing the values for some push binding and the keys used to trigger some commands.

Most commonly used in this config:

m:ctrl;cmd Maximize focussed window to main screen. Useful when plugging in an external monitor and easily throwing the window in focus up to the external monitor.

right:ctrl;cmd & left:ctrl;cmd Move window to fill half of the left or right of the window for a vertical "split"
