Maybe, but it seems impractical to me to have to learn a new scheme for that. Why not use something that is as similar as possible to what window managers do? I know only the w32 window manager. That is what I have mimicked in bw-interactive.el (as close as possible). I believe something functioning like that should be used. My main concern is that you should not have to learn and remember new details.
