This has been discussed for years and it requires a change to blackbox.
Blackbox doesn't have any communication Atom that can communicate this to it.
Also, note that this is not something that the EWMH spec at freedesktop.org
addresses, so it would be particular to blackbox. Short answer: it's not
there yet but might be some day.

Hm. _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is being sent to blackbox when that happens, I
believe. I think the spec is fuzzy on what the window manager is supposed to
do with the message with regards to a shaded window.

PLEASE send a patch for this, if you can figure it out. =:) Blackbox's Menu
class that I am using does not expose information such as the width or height
of its Window. Therefore, it is impossible currently for bbkeys to know how
big the menu will be and center it. This is mentioned in the man page, iirc.
The cycleMenuX and cycleMenuY are only there as a kludge because there's
really no other way to do it unless nyz relents and changes Menu or I
suddenly develop an intolerable sense of boredom and write a completely new
class. =:)

Hm. This could easily be a configurable setting, and wouldn't be horribly
difficult to pull off. I just don't have the time to do it right now. I
will absolutely accept a patch for this if anyone wants to take the time.
