Mod1+K Q (The manual page seems to mentioned Mod1+Q which is wrong.)
The function is clientwin_quote_next. You also need to configure xterm
(and maybe other terminal emulators as well?) to allow SendEvents for
this to work.

Ion's windows are probably stacked above the OSD window so it doesn't show.
If you start OSD after Ion has initially created its frames, the window
should show above those frames but not ones that are created later on.
OSD should be patched to occasionally raise the window. It should also be
possible to monitor when other windows are raised and act accordingly.
(Ion complete ignores OSD windows on the app's request so it is up for OSD
to handle stacking the window properly.)

OSD would be really nice for some things like email notifications and other
messages if I could just get make the window translucent... (This is not
about eyecandy, I believe translucent window in this case would be less
interfering than one with opaque background or one without background
(clutters)). The XRender extension supports alpha for drawing, so why
did they not add support for translucent windows too?
