Hello Y'all,I can't find (searched the forum) the command that starts the fluxbox-menu (make it popup). I need it so that i can bind the MS-flag-key (NoSymbol) to this command. (I used xev to find the right name for this key). Anyone? Posted by RoGuE_StreaK on Sep. 14 2005,12:30
Not sure if this is it or not:RootMenu which "Summons the Root Menu" - not sure if that's the normal menu or what. Apparently the windoze key is "Mod4" in fluxbox key speak. So in .fluxbox/keys I think you could try Mod4 :RootMenu I'm thinking you could maybe launch emelfm like a windows explorer launch: Mod4 e :ExecCommand emelfm Could come in handy.

I tried this:Because "xev" and pressing the MSwindows flag-key gave a "NoSymbol" keyname means i have to: xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = F13" Now when i press the MSwindows flag-key it is registred as F13. But i still don't know how to add it in the fluxbox/keys -file. tried: Mod1 F13 :ExecCommand beaver (just to test it, i want to run the RootMenu actualy) Mod4 F13 :ExecCommand beaver F13 :ExecCommand beaver Still no sigar... i always exit xfree86 to reload fluxbox (just to be sure it is reloaded) Posted by Patrick on Sep. 14 2005,13:27
I just read somthing about certain keymapping that don't work in Xfree86 (which i am using) :-( Posted by mikshaw on Sep. 14 2005,14:43
Your .fluxbox/keys syntax is correct. The command for the menu is "somemodifier somekey :RootMenu". I'm guessing that your keymapping is the problem. Maybe there's a conflict with another F13 mapping? I can't remember exactly how i had the windows keys set up in DSL (so much reconfiguring to do...so much...), but i used "xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap" intead of the -e option. The file had something similar to this in it: clear mod3 clear mod4 keycode 115 = Super_L keycode 116 = Super_R add mod4 = Super_L add mod3 = Super_R For reloading the fluxbox config, you could set up a hotkey with the ":Reconfigure" command instead of restarting X (it could be "Reconfig"...can't remember for sure).

Have you tried
?
would mean you need to press alt and F13 to run beaver - F13 on it's own wouldn't work. |
