I'm trying to setup some key bindings to move to:

I think I've finally figured out how to accomplish all of
this by creating a daemon which monitors 'wmiir read
/events'...but it sounds a bit cumbersome.  Is there
built-in functionality that can do this?

David,

I added something to my wmiirc for this but...it broke when moving to 3.6.

I'm not sure if your a fan of python but.. I've been using wmii for just over a year now with the standard wmiirc bash interface. I recently switched to using python-wmii. http://downgra.de/articles/python-wmii/

Among other improvements, It maintains a history of views that you can cycle through with MODKEY-minus and MODKEY-plus. This is slightly more bloaty (because its using python) but I find extending and modifying my interaction with wmii MUCH easier and enjoyable.

*Note* I did modify a few of the default keybindings in python-wmii to be similar to the default wmii. I also added some new ones.

statusbar/lbar stuff is also written in python and the whole thing seems a lot cleaner. I also believe wmiirc is slightly negliected because most of the main developers use rc.wmii dude to liking plan9's syntax and using plan9port.

I recommend python-wmii to any wmii user with a small amount of python experience. Much thanks to Rico Schiekel for his work.
