Re: [STUMP] define run-or-raise keybinding with anonymous function

[Joram Schrijver]

Hi,

Note that StumpWM supplies a macro called DEFPROGRAM-SHORTCUT that
handles
creating a run-or-raise command and binding it to a key. It won't be an
anonymous command, because such a thing doesn't exist, but there's no
real harm
in having a command like "calibre" or "iceweasel".
