   blackbox use to have builtin key bindings, but the author   
   moved all that logic to a separate utility called bbkeys, I   
   think for version 6.  IIRC, bbkeys could be used with other   
   window managers back then.

   A lot of people did not like that change and I believe fluxbox   
   was created as a result.  At the time I thought it was a decent   
   idea.
