Hey all

Do you think it would be possible to run openbox's action engine along
other window managers? In other words: do you think it would be possible to
strip down openbox to remove it's ability to draw borders in windows, but
keep the ability to control the windows using keybindings while using other
window managers?

I really miss the ability to move windows around with the same precision
openbox allow me to do it... this are the keybindings i can't live without:

    <keybind key="W-Up">
      <action name="DirectionalFocusNorth">
        <dialog>yes</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Down">
      <action name="DirectionalFocusSouth">
        <dialog>yes</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Left">
      <action name="DirectionalFocusWest">
        <dialog>yes</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Right">
      <action name="DirectionalFocusEast">
        <dialog>yes</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-C-Up">
      <action name="MoveToEdgeNorth"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-C-Down">
      <action name="MoveToEdgeSouth"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-C-Left">
      <action name="MoveToEdgeWest"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-C-Right">
      <action name="MoveToEdgeEast"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-S-Up">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="GrowToEdgeNorth"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-S-Down">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="GrowToEdgeSouth"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-S-Left">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="GrowToEdgeWest"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-S-Right">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="GrowToEdgeEast"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-space">
      <action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Return">
      <action name="ToggleFullscreen"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Escape">
      <action name="Iconify"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-d">
      <action name="ToggleShowDesktop"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Tab">
      <action name="NextWindow"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-S-Tab">
      <action name="PreviousWindow"/>
    </keybind>
