bbkeys has no power of its own.  It simply listens for X keyboard events,
compares them to a list of known events, then sends a new event to blackbox. 
It is blackbox which actually does the move, shade, kill, send, or whatever. 
There is a limited number of supported actions in blackbox itself.  This why
keybindings for the menu is not possible -- blackbox does have any hooks for
this.
