If you're using a separate minibuffer-only frame, then you can use `minibuffer-inactive-mode` (and its `minibuffer-inactive-mode-map`) which might do the trick. If not, then I think you'll need to make changes to the C code because otherwise any event sent to the echo area signals "Minibuffer window is not active". Stefan
