When I first started using "sawmill" (the old name) I wanted a way to
run my own commands via keyboard shortcuts. That was the only time I
needed to use their "lisp like" code.
I found some examples and made the following file which worked well
for awhile. I no longer use it and do not know if it's currently
functional or correct, but it worked for me when I used it.
The main keyboard shortcut that I really wanted was "Alt-ESC" to run
my "xask" (ssh to a system after asking me that name, it also updates
the window & icon tittles). I need this to functionality or I am
lost. Since then I found that if I changed my "xterm" command (under
the SawFish Miscellaneous menu) to "$HOME/bin/xask", I can then use
the "Shortcuts" menu's "Xterm" command choice to do what I was doing.
The other shortcuts I didn't seem to need as much as this, so I just
removed them after time.
Well that said, here is what I was using back then:
[rea@q ~]$ more rea.sawmillrc
;; 4/20/00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] first added
;; base on their stuff.
(require 'sawmill-defaults)
;; my new terminal
(bind-keys global-keymap
"M-ESC" '(system "/net/home/rcc/rea/bin/xask &"))
(bind-keys global-keymap

(bind-keys global-keymap

;;(bind-keys global-keymap
;; "M-W" (popup-menu (beos-window-menu)) )
