That's a neat idea. If we could bind the F13 press event to 'grab' and the F13
release event to 'ungrab', this could do just what I want. Or even without the
ability to bind to press/release events, I could have prefix-g to grab, and
maybe escape to ungrab. Unfortunately, like everyone who knows eveything about
how things should be implemented, I can't program in C. Maybe it's time for me
to bite the bullet and learn it, instead of begging for features. Unless
begging would work. :-)
