Damn, would you believe I had typed "ExeCommand emelfm", leaving out a "c"!? :angry:

Found xev from a DSL1.1 that I had lying around, and yes it reports the left windows key as keycode 133.  So after frustrations with "windows e" not working, I hit "windows b" and up popped beaver.  "windows f", up pops firefox.  As stated, I'd mis-typed the emelfm command!

Oh, and I used Mod4, not Mod5, and "add Mod4 = Super_L".  I use the left windows key, and on the laptop there is only the left windows key.  I assume keycode 134, Mod5, and Super_R are for the right key?
Either way, it's working fine now, thanks clacker and mikshaw!

RoGuE_StreaK, as far as I understand, Mod4 and Mod5 can be set to anything you want them to be set to.  The keycode lines set the keycode to a named key, the add lines set a modifier to a named key, and the keysym lines merge two named keys into one named key.

I take it xev shows keycodes on keypress? I tried to apt-get it, but can't find it anywhere, and it's been ages since I last used apt anyway, so have forgotten how to force a download of all dependancies...

xev is part of the xbase-clients.  iirc, installing it with apt with get you a fullblown X.

Probably would be a good candidate for a .dsl
