I thought you were proposing to make close and raise part of key bindings, not 
get rid of the actions.

Why?  I thought the difficult part was handling all events from all terminals at 
the same time.  (And it is, I looked at the code and saw some global term-> 
pointer and that's as far as I want to look.)

That would be the current limitation to deal with.  But that might not be all 
that bad.  If one has switched away from x11, s/he is at the gnuplot prompt 
already.  They type the commands to send the plot to a file, then type "set term 
x11" to get back to x11 mode.
