 extension? That way we can keep the hacks out from the shell, which is way
 safer (because failures in extensions are not propagated to the main loop)
 and is also nicer from a code organization point of view.

 Don't be so lazy! This is really easy and fun stuff. As an example, this
 extension will take a screenshot when the user presses the Print key:

 little things?

 Yeah, one for all the special keys on the XO.

 Btw, if you don't put r? in the keywords field, the ticket won't be in the
 review queue and can get lost for several months.
