Exactly!
Use case: one hotkey (in my case: the useless '><' key on german
keyboards) to activate a, let's call it COMMAND mode :), maybe a litte
visual hint (I'm making the taskbar visible in dwm for now), that does
nothing else than waiting for the next keypress.
Have a look at dwm's keymodes patch, I really like this implementation.
My hacked 'hotkey' version depends on some X11/event race condition, as
I was able to figure out how to grab the whole kb for a while; but I
haven't started to dig into the keymodes patch yet; therefore my
suggestion to combine the two.
Also the goal is to have a system that can be operaten with literally
one finger alone, I think it would be a godsent for accessibility (not
just when consuming yp *ducks* :).
cheers, mih
ps. I really like the poetic license!
