   1 Epist design notes, by woodblock
   2 --------------------------------
   3
   4 - Chained keybindings like emacs, and I suppose vi if you're wierd like that.
   5 - most actions can take extra parameters. probably only numbers,
   6   or strings, maybe both.
   7 - no interactive string inputs
   8 - A config file that doesn't suck
   9
  10
  11 - exec
  12 - iconify
  13 - raise
  14 - lower
  15 - close
  16 - move to desktop
  17 - send to desktop
  18 - toggle shade
  19 - sticky
  20 - move window
  21 - resize window
  22 - next/prev window (special orders like stacking, grouping, etc?)
  23 - maximize/minimize
  24 - no stupid window
  25 - toggle keybindings
  26 - menus?

  28 class Action {
  29  enum type;
  30  char *string;
  31  int param;
  32  Action next;
  33 }
  34
  35 option <name> <value>;
  36
  37 action [name] <key> <type> <parameter>;
  38
  39 chain [name] <key> {
  40         <action name>,
  41         <action name>,
  42         ...
  43         }
  44
  45 eg:
  46  action emacs C-e exec emacs;
  47  action C-a exec aterm -fn smoothansi;
  48  action xmms C-x exec xmms;
  49
  50 chain M-q {
  51         emacs,
  52         xmms
  53         }
  54
  55 Would produce M-q C-e -> emacs, M-q C-x -> xmms, C-a -> aterm.
