Program for keybinding of Multimedia buttons on keyboard
Somebody got such kind of program for Linux?
Or can I just modify that in the X86Config? You see, I have multimedia buttons at the top of my keyboard and I want to let them be supported by my PC , but I don't know how :s So isn't there a program that checks the given key, if it equals (for example) 0x0B78 , then it should do execute 'xmms -r' Greetz, AliTriX |
check out Xmodmap and xev
I've been contemplating this as well, since I've got a logitech internet/multimedia keyboard with 10 currently useless buttons, but haven't done any reseach yet. |
Problems
I did this:
Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 153 = Next" Somebody knows why? |
Aaah.. shit :S
The key 'Page Down' became that execute, shit!! :'( Can somebody tell me how I can get my PageDown back again :s? |
I'm going to guess that "next" is a preset used by page down
You can most likely undo this by removing the line from .fluxbox/keys I did some messing around and got it working with my Logitech keyboard. You know how to find the keycode already, so I won't go into that. locate XKeysymDB will tell you where the keysym list is...this is a list Linux uses for your keysym names. Istead of using "Next", pick one of those for your key name. Here's what I have in my .Xmodmap: Code:
!! Testing the Logitech extra keys I don't know how I'm going to set up the volume/mute buttons yet, but it'll happen... |

And the for the tip man! It works :) This is what I have atm: Code:
~/.fluxbox/keys Code:
Response xmodmap -pk | grep Audio |
Btw, found a solution for you, for the mute and volume (+/-) keys :)
Code:
~/.fluxbox/keys/ Good luck with it! Greetz, AliTriX |
Hmm, I found some interesting information here:

Yes, aumix can do it as well :)
Except I don't know how it works and I don't have it on my pc, I only had rexima (Slackware 9.0) Greetz, AliTriX |
Thanks for the nudge into something I've been meaning to check out for months...I've learned a bit, and I discovered I don't have to download and install a 5mb application to get full use out of my keyboard. And on top of that, I can customize it in ways I couldn't with the Windows Logitech software.

if you want an easy way, and your running gnome, theres a little app called 'acme' which can setup all these keys for you

Nothing beats a nice, clean, text file.

I just love to custom it on my own why, without any programs ;) |
