Has anyone implemented such, at the window manager level? I know it sounds like a step backwards, but I'd be interested in seeing something (preferably an isolated application) that would make some keys into mouse-motion keys, to allow navigating solely from the keyboard. It'd be easy to do for a single application, but I want it for *all* windows. It isn't clear to me where to start on this... Mark EichinSIPB Member & Project Athena ``Watchmaker''
