there is no support for this right now. Brad (the original author) did not want to add bb specific options to the protocol because blackbox was going to speak Net WM (the GNOME & KDE standard). This is still a goal. Personally, I feel that using an external app to control the menu is just a complete kluge. Long term, I believe blackbox will get keybindings internally and we will have keyboard navigable menus. I think that what bbkeys does now is a good and not a kluge. Once we support netwm, many other external apps will work with bb.
