This option uses a structured format that is converted to Mango's
configuration syntax. Nested attributes are flattened with underscore separators.
For example: `animation.duration_open = 400` becomes `animation_duration_open = 400`
Keymodes (submaps) are supported via the special `keymode` attribute. Each keymode
is a nested attribute set under `keymode` that contains its own bindings.

## Using keymodes (submaps)
```nix
let
config = {
bind = [
"SUPER,Q,killclient"
"ALT,R,setkeymode,resize"
];
keymode = {
resize = {
bind = [
"NONE,Left,resizewin,-10,0"
"NONE,Right,resizewin,10,0"
"NONE,Escape,setkeymode,default"
];
};
};
};
in lib.toMango {} config
```
**Output:**
```
bind = SUPER,Q,killclient
bind = ALT,R,setkeymode,resize
keymode = resize
bind = NONE,Left,resizewin,-10,0
bind = NONE,Right,resizewin,10,0
bind = NONE,Escape,setkeymode,default
```
