Glad to hear it; I think it'll make communication between the various
applications much cleaner, and open up some new possibilities.

Sure do. As I haven't quite figured out the slit, I use window list
cycling as my primary mechanism for switching between windows. I use
the version which cycles between windows on all desktops, although I
think if I were to get the hang of bbpager, I'd change to the one which
only cycles on the current desktop (although I'm not sure). I also use
the cycling between desktops, but I wish it remembered the "last"
desktop. I looked at the code for this a while back, but never had an
opportunity to do anything about it. Window cycling has always been my
favorite way to access windows. Having started with Windows (tm)
back-in-the-day, I've always kept it mapped to Alt+Tab (although I'm
open to suggestions).
The other keymap that I use insanely often is F2 => new xterm. Man,
does that come in handy. Oh yeah, and Alt+Spacebar => shade window. I
do like that.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Blackbox is
beautiful.
Take care,
