The keybindings are defined in the xfwm keytheme. Someone would have to
make an editor for that to make the configuration graphical.

The pager can indeed easily have an option for one or two rows. I would
accept a patch for that. There is no developer documentation other than
the code. If you are interested you can look at how one of the other
plugins implements the create_options function. It shouldn't be too hard
if you know a little gtk.
