It's my favorite, since it allows me to hotkey aterm, etc.

You can do that with other window managers, including jwm. See exec command:
http://joewing.net/programs/jwm/config.shtml#keys

And :execCommand in fluxbox:

You mean there's more than one way to skin a cat?

I tried execCommand with fluxback to load aterm. I finally got it working using the F keys (e.g., "Mod1 F12 :execCommand aterm").
It didn't work substituting "Control" for Mod1, or substituting a regular key for F12. I'm sure there's a way to do it, maybe using ascii numbers or something...... with IceWM it took 5 seconds to figure it out.

I set the following in ~/.fluxbox/keys (dsl 4.0a1) and it works:

Code Sample

Control F1 :ExecCommand aterm

I'm not a fluxbox fan; I have jwm set up to launch apps by keystroke. I already know the jwm bindings work:

Code Sample

<Key mask="C" key="F1">exec: aterm</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F2">exec: sudo aterm</Key>

Well, now its all working, even "Control R :execControl aterm" I did exactly what I did before, editing the ./fluxbox/keys and restarting. Maybe I'm just losing it.......
