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 -- In the force if Yoda's so strong, construct a sentence with words in the proper order then why can't he?
