SOLVED: Fluxbox 0.9.4: trouble with key-bindings...?

I have to just recently used Fluxbox 0.1.14 and had these keybindings working:

Code:

[eek@apeekaboo eek]$ cat .fluxbox/keys

Mod1 Tab :NextWindow 7

Control Mod1 Tab :PrevWindow 7

Mod1 Shift Tab :NextTab

Control Shift Mod1 Tab :PrevTab

Mod1 m :ShadeWindow

Mod1 w :MaximizeWindow

Mod1 l :Lower

Mod1 r :Raise

Control Mod1 Shift Mod4 k :KillWindow

Control Mod1 Shift m :Minimize

Mod1 F1 :Workspace1

Mod1 F2 :Workspace2

Mod1 F3 :Workspace3

Mod1 F4 :Workspace4

Mod1 F5 :Workspace5

Mod1 F6 :Workspace6

Mod1 F7 :Workspace7

Mod1 F8 :Workspace8

Mod1 F9 :Workspace9

Mod1 F10 :Workspace10

Mod1 F11 :Workspace11

Mod1 F12 :Workspace12

Mod1 f :ExecCommand gnome-commander

Mod1 v :ExecCommand gvim

Mod1 x :ExecCommand gnome-terminal --geometry 80x30

Mod1 Shift x :ExecCommand xterm -fg white -bg black

Control Mod1 x :ExecCommand Eterm -O

Mod1 n :ExecCommand cd mydox/_D_o_k_u_m_e_n_t_/ && gedit

Mod4 s :ExecCommand /usr/bin/3ddesk --mode=flip --reload

Mod4 q :ExecCommand quickrun -p center -c 20

Mod1 d :ToggleDecor

Mod1 t :ToggleTab

Control Shift k :VerticalIncrement

Control Shift i :VerticalDecrement

Control Shift l :HorizontalIncrement

Control Shift j :HorizontalDecrement

When I upgraded to Fluxbox 0.9.4, the key-bindings for changing desktops stopped working... (Mod1 F1 :Workspace1-12)
I've tried with other key-bindings to change desktops but it seems like Workspace1 and so on is not supported anymore...? :confused:
The last 4 entries for changing window size seem to be broken as well...
Desktop wheeling is working, but sometimes I prefer to use the keyboard instead.

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

Add a space between Workspace and the number. I guess it saves time and memory to only keep track of the changing number rather than the constant string 'Workspace' with the number tacked on. :)
Read the Changelog and NEWS files.

I think a recent cvs update has fixed the keybindings :)
See Changelog and BUGS.

Thanks Proud!
Quick answers are always good... especially if they have a working solution! :D

Only for the desktop problem...

The other problem with resizing isn't really an important one, and it was something I just happened to notice while examining the first problem.
I only use it for those rare cases when a program is opened outside of the desktop. :p

But if anyone have a solution for it I'm all ears! Just don't break a sweat over it... :)

I've been having a problem with the keybindings as well, and I don't see a solution in the changelog. The following keybindings do not work:

Code:

# Move active window (more)

Shift Mod1 Up :BigNudgeUp

Shift Mod1 Down :BigNudgeDown

Shift Mod1 Left :BigNudgeLeft

Shift Mod1 Right :BigNudgeRight



# Move active window (less)

Control Shift Mod1 Up :NudgeUp

Control Shift Mod1 Down :NudgeDown

Control Shift Mod1 Left :NudgeLeft

Control Shift Mod1 Right :NudgeRight



# Make active window taller/shorter

Mod1 Mod4 Down :VerticalIncrement

Mod1 Mod4 Up :VerticalDecrement



# Make active window fatter/skinnier

Mod1 Mod4 Right :HorizontalIncrement

Mod1 Mod4 Left :HorizontalDecrement

I've googled this too, and can't seem to find anything about this. When I exit X, however, I see several messages saying that I am referencing an invalid keybind. I'm assuming that they have changed the names of these keybindings, or maybe they are just broken at this time. Does anyone know for sure, though?

Thanks guys. I had same problem (no keybindings after upgrading to Fluxbox 0.9.8) and the space trick worked. In additon, I needed to point /etc/X11/fluxbox/keys to /usr/local/share/fluxbox/keys as the version in /etc had old keys definitions. (if only I had looked in ~/.xsession-errors file ...)

thanks, nram

You could also use MoveUp -number instead of MoveDown +number
