Cmd+delete? I don't really want it to be a single key as it's too easy to accidentally trigger (say I try to delete some text in a filename but accidentally bump my mouse and lose focus on the name)

I was thinking about this recently and considering writing a blog post about it, nothing feels more motivational than being told "that's impossible." I implemented a pure CSS draggable a while back when I was told it's impossible.
For some while I read people saying that, despite the existence of Paul Jarc showing how svscan as process 1 would actually work and Gerrit Pape leading the way with runit-init and demonstrating the basic idea, one could not do full system management with daemontools and wholly eliminate van Smoorenberg init and rc.
It was one of the motivating factors in the creation of nosh, to show that what one does is exercise a bit of imagination, take the daemontools (or daemontools-encore) service management, and fairly cleanly layer separate system management on top of that. Gerrit Pape pioneered the just-3-shell-scripts approach, and I extended that idea with some notions from AIX, SunOS/Solaris, AT&T System 5, and others. The service manager and the system manager did not have to be tightly coupled into a single program, either. That was another utter bunkum claim.
Laurent Bercot demonstrated the same thing with s6 and s6-rc. (For clarity: Where M. Bercot talks of "supervision" I talk of "service management" and where M. Bercot talks of "service management" as the layer above supervision I talk of "system management".)
