Best window manager for Arch with
Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.

Full implementation of nwg-shell for sway in ArchLabs Linux 2022.01.18
Maybe you could use a separate config file for keybinds, that is included in the default config. Then you can open that file in an editor to edit the bindings and with some added markup the shortcut overlay could be automatically created https://github.com/alexrochas/i3wm-Cheatsheet/tree/master https://github.com/tmccombs/i3-cheat
