Hi gang, I'm running 9.2 hd install and trying to map some keys. The box will go in the car with just a usb keypad to operate xmms. I would like to map NextTab and some xmms commands such as p and f. I used xev to get the key names. In /home/dsl/.fluxbox/keys I added
Code Sample
none KP_Divide :NextTab
and
Code Sample
none KP_7 :F
. Neither have any effect. I think the syntax is correct so may be that the keys file is not getting loaded. Any thoughts?Try changing the session.keyFile: line in your ~/.fluxbox/init file from .fluxbox/keys to ~/.fluxbox/keys ... or the full path.
Let us know.
73 ke4ntThe syntax looks right for fluxbox commands, but 'F' isn't a fluxbox command. If you have a non-fluxbox command called 'F' it should be: NONE KP_7 :ExecCommand F but since this is an Xmms command it should be this: NONE KP_7 :ExecCommand xmms -fYea, lets eliminate any confusion and just go with getting NextTab to work. I also am testing on both the usb keypad and the ps2 keyboard.

dina du it neither, tried both. But you did tell me that the session.keyFile line in the .fluxbox/init file loads the keys file which I didn't know. Fluxbox is loading because I'm getting a gui, correct? Are there more than 1 init or keys file? Such as a system or default?There is a systemwide keys file, but by default it gets copied into ~/.fluxbox the first time you run the program.
Did you reload the configuration after making changes to the keys file? It's not like the menu file, which automatically gets reloaded whenever a change is made...you have to reload it manually. There should be a menu item in the 'desktop' submenu.Next Page...
