hii this is raju,
I want to enable "windows button" as SUSE button.
I would find it great if you can enable the following shortcuts: (lnx means win-Button ) lnx + D --> Show Desktop; lnx + L --> Look Screen; lnx + E (or H) --> open file browser (maybe the home dir)
Maybe you have some more shortcut ideas. The button is on the most keyboards - lets use it!
Distribution: CentOS, RHEL, Solaris 10, AIX, HP-UX

Hi,
you can use
Code:
xev
to capture the key code. Left windows button should be key code 115.
You can do the following:
Code:
xmodmap "keycode 115 = F20"
This maps left windows button to function key 20.
To have the Windows key-mappings enabled automatically every time you start X either put the xmodmap commands in your ~/.xinitrc file or, preferably, create a file ~/.xmodmaprc and include the xmodmap options, one per line, then add the following line to your ~/.xinitrc:
Code:
xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
After that you can map the F20 inside your window manager to the function you like to use.
