I always forget about statusmsg. So we've got this, and rio is scriptable, which leaves 2 things: preventing clients resizing their own window, and keyboard control. I don't suppose it's hard to write a filter for /dev/kbd in C. It would have to run before rio. I think it could wait for rio's files to appear, or wait for rio's /srv file & mount it. This keygrabber could be quite generally useful.
Preventing resizing is a stranger problem. Window clients need to be prevented, but the keygrabber allowed. Or, one could simply not worry about it. Only games resize their window, right?
I'm not sure whether I want to take on the job. It might go all right, but I almost always end up frustrated with Plan 9. Actually, I don't; I've got tons of other things to do.
