Details

first of all we need use cases. examples why we need this, and why we can't do this with our current code.

eg with keyword: 'g uzbl' would open http://www.google.be/search?q=uzbl

but we can assign 'g' to an external script, so that script could open something (dmenu, zenity) where you type 'uzbl' and write the appropriate command into the fifo.

do we need keywords?
This task depends upon

Why not opening a local web page similar to http://swtch.com/cmd/ ?
I have my own copy (in http://www.yiyus.info), which I use as home page in firefox. It could also be extended to show bookmarks and/or history. I can make a page matching uzbl.org style if there is some interest, IMO this solution would fit the uzbl ideas pretty well.

no. relying on a 3rd party webpage is not good. Also having a "built in" page would be an ugly solution. We have a quite good keybinding system out of the box, we should leverage it.
