I wonder, though, if we could operate acme as a window manager like, say, wmii. For instance, could I write a script in acme that would listen for user pressing Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, Ctrl-3 etc. and then make visible all windows with a "1", "2", "3" in their tags? (Not that this would make it better or faster. It could be just a fun task to help me understand how to interact with acme using scripts.) Best, MaurĂ­cio
