Look at /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/rio/key.c:44, figure out what key presses you want to handle, then do a fork+exec or whatever floats your boat. You might also find 9menu handy, although personally I don't like using it in p9p rio because rio doesn't pass focus clicks through to the client, meaning I have to click twice (annoying). I just use a terminal to start programs. I'm using p9p rio right now, but that's because I cycle through about a half-dozen window managers a year in search of WM nirvana. I love using rio on Plan 9, but I'm not entirely convinced it is best-suited for the way I use Unix. Some day I may write my own WM, but today is not that day. john
