Re: how to stay windows on top with >> shift + left click

Since I can't find a useful setting on rc.xml and that keyboard/mouse shortcuts have moved to ~/.xbindkeysrc,
my suggestion is to add the following to your ~/.xbindkeysrc:

"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,above"
    Shift + b:1 + Release

Closing a window is trivial and left to the student as an exercise.

I think window manipulation shortcuts are still handled by openbox, no? (I'm telling you devs, this is getting too complicated.)
In that case, it's a simple question of reading the openbox wiki and applying a suitable mousebind (with modifier).

No, application keybinds are handled by xbindkeys; window and mouse actions are in bl-rc.xml.

As @ohnonot said, all the options are in the Openbox wiki.

As with the switch to jgmenu, it's about preparing for the day when BL has to use another WM, or for users who want to try something else now. Having general application keybinds (mostly launchers) handled separately means a user can still eg hit Win+T and get a terminal whatever WM they're using.

OK, ISC : always time to learn something. Didn't know so many actions were available.
OP needs to put something like this in the appropriate context(s):

      <mousebind button="S-Left" action="Click">
        <action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop"/>
      </mousebind>
