Just what I do:
You need two files: ~/.ion/{bindings-default.conf,ion.conf}. This will
be created if you start and exit Ion gracefully. ion.conf is necessary
to reference bindings-default.conf.
Create in ~/.ion/bindings-default.conf the second of the two lines
below (grep for the first line and insert):
kpress "F12", "query_yesno", "Exit Ion (y/n)?", "exit"
kpress "Mod1+F12", "restart_other", "fluxbox"
Substitute your preferred bindings for Mod1+F12. I use Mod4 (the key
with the Evil Empire's trademark). Summary of available functions is
in:/usr/share/doc/ion/functions.txt
