Erm. Yes. You HAVE to be running the 0.60.x series (look at
http://movingparts.thelinuxcommunity.org/bbkeys.shtml) for bbkeys to
interact with the window manager--and believe me, the use of the term
beta for blackbox-0.60.x series is very misleading. I use
blackbox-0.60.3 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and I have NEVER had any
problems whatsoever. It is more stable than the last "stable" version
as far as I'm concerned. As far as your other question goes, I
will forward this to the blackbox mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Having bbkeys be able to activate blackbox's menus is something that
I've been nagging nyz to do for... hrm, let's see now, like 6 months
now? Now that Raven has so graciously agreed to help Brad out with
code-fu, maybe he'll look at making this a reality. The fact of the
matter is that it will take coding in both blackbox and bbkeys to
activate and navigate menus via keystrokes (you'll notice that if you do
activate a menu via the mouse in blackbox now, you can't navigate that
menu via keystrokes now).... So how about it, Jeff/Brad? =:)
