   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, or strings, maybe both.
   6  - no interactive string inputs
   7 - A config file that doesn't suck
   8
   9
  10 - exec
  11 - iconify
  12 - raise
  13 - lower
  14 - close
  15 - move to desktop
  16 - send to desktop
  17 - toggle shade
  18 - sticky
  19 - move window (?)
  20 - next/prev window (special orders like stacking, grouping, etc?)
  21 - maximize/minimize
  22 - no stupid window
  23 - toggle keybindings
  24 - menus?

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