I have to make an apology here: I was offered by the current MAINTAINER to
take over maintainership of various blackbox ports (including bbkeys &
bbpager), but I then failed to act on it. I do intend to, but due to workload
increasing didn't get around to it. I do have some more spare time now
however, so I'll take a look tomorrow.
As for bbkeys, a patch is already attached at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31509
I'll take a look at your patch and merge the differences if any, as well
as look at the above issues. I'll submit a PR soon.
Thanks,
--Stijn
