A frame is a geometrical group which can contain some other frames or
some application windows.
The current root frame is fullscreen maximized.

So if you want to have multiple frames in full screen mode, create the
frames you want to be fullscreened in the same father (they'll act as
workspace in the  0801 version) and place your children in them
(windows or frames).

The new keybinding is:

Alt-Left/Right: circulate throw brothers (ie throw workspaces in 0801)

Alt-Tab: circulate throw children (ie throw application windows as
usual)

Alt-Enter: Enter in a frame -> make it the current root and fullscreen
it.

Alt-Shift-Enter: Leave the current child -> make its father the
current root.

Alt+Up/Down: select the next/previous level.

Sure? It's because you have to be accustomed to the new behaviour and
it is not usual (far less than the 0801 version of clfswm which stay
near the standard).

In fact, if you stay in the starting root frame, you have the same
behaviour than in the 0801 version by creating frames in it.
The only new thing is that you're not restricted to the starting root
frame: you can create workspaces at any level.

I've put a little video to see how I use clfswm now. Here:

Hope that'll help
