Something I've been thinking along the same lines: Inferno's shell allows one to add custom buttons to a shell window. See more here: http://debu.gs/entries/interlude-inferno-at-work This could be used to add shortcuts to common/more complicated text editing tasks in Inferno's sh + sam -d. I'm not sure if this would free one from using a 3-button mouse, though. Mart
