   Hi dharmatech,

   I like your addition. Thank you! However, I thought of an extension to the idea that I'd like to run past you.

   Being able to assign function keys to a command or series of commands is great. However, what I thought would be a really useful extension would be able to put those assignments in some sort of file that acme reads upon startup. This way you'd effectively have a way of extending / customizing acme. What do you think?

   Also, it seems I miss many of these comments. I'm not sure if GitHub gave me a notification or not. I didn't see one. You can contact me directly at blake@mcbridemail.com I would generally give you pretty rapid response.

   Hey @blakemcbride 🙋‍♂️

   legmacs is an emacs-like editor implemented in a clojure dialect called let-go:

   https://github.com/nooga/legmacs

   https://github.com/nooga/let-go

   legmacs runs on plan9. I have directions here for setting up a plan9 VM with legmacs here:

   https://github.com/dharmatech/get9/blob/main/docs/from-zero-to-legmacs.md

   And a video demo here:

   Now... what does this have to do with acme? 😅

   Well, I've been messing around with some acme-like extensions to legmacs.
   There's a video demo of this here:

   https://youtu.be/zhKd5NLm4oA?si=safJpSyFXMaMpbcx

   That is in an experimental draft PR here:

   nooga/legmacs#3

   Just some acme/plan9 related stuff I thought I'd share with ya. 👍

   Yes, that's an awesome direction to explore! I was initially looking for what "felt right" in acme.
   But having a way to put the definitions in a config file would be nice to have.

   Hmm... I wonder if it makes a difference if I include a mention like this: @blakemcbride

   I usually get a notification in github that shows up as a blue dot on the in box:
