the holy grail of all ~/.fluxbox/keys

fenderman11111 · 12-14-2005, 11:04 PM

hey everyone,

I use fluxbox, and as a service to the community I have randomly decided to post my version the file mentioned in the title.

I didn't come up with the entire file, it is an accumulation of neat things that my friends and I had in our keybindings. One day while talking about fluxbox (geeky, i know) we came up with the idea to combine our files into a "holy grail" of keybindings files, and here is what we came up with.

enjoy,

feel free to add improvements or additions

Code:

I have the default.. I used to have one keymap, Control X which would bring up an xterm, but then that messed up when I was commiting something using CVS and I had to do control x to exit the editor for the log...

Moved to Success Stories. It's technical and worth of having in the search results. Success Stories seems to be a better place for this than General, where it would be lost.
