I'd like to be able to hit the back-tick (`) and have a terminal window (/system/apps/terminal.lua) pop up (like the old Quake days...). Anyone know how to go about doing that? I'll be looking into it, but any clues would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I think you would need to run your own copy of wm.lua (the window manager) to add a concept of global shortcut there!
