Yes, that's very nice!

The next thing I wanted was keyboard shortcuts in ratmenu, and 

  http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~levene/ratmenu-shortcuts.diff

does that; with this patch,

  ratpoison menu1 cmd1 -shortcut 1 menu2 cmd2 menu3 cmd3 -shortcut z

should define keys 1 and z to be shortcuts to menu1 and menu3
respectively. Using this, I've changed your replacement for rp's window
command to give keyboard shortcuts for the first 16 rp-managed windows.
