Fluxbox: How can we make use of the print key ?

Xeratul · 12-02-2006, 04:10 AM

I would like to do in .fluxbox/keys:
Mod4 printkey :ExecCommand scrot -d 1 screenshot.png

But it is not wokring...

Are they key identifiers case sensitive? Try Mod4 PrintKey
Also, do you intend for it to be combined with the Window key(Mod4)?

# screenshots
# xmodmap -pke | grep -i print => xmodmap -e "keycode 111 = F13"
# => i press "Print" and it dumps the screen :-)
#None F13 :ExecCommand scrot -s -q 75 '~/shot-%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S-$w-$h.jpg'

Please find this how to I found in one great config:

Code:

# in .fluxbox/startup
xmodmap -pke | grep -i print &
xmodmap -e "keycode 111 = F13" &

Code:

# in .fluxbox/keys
# change it has you d like for F12 and printkey
# screenshots
# xmodmap -pke | grep -i print => xmodmap -e "keycode 111 = F13"
# => i press "Print" and it dumps the screen :-)
#None F13 :ExecCommand scrot -s -q 75 '~/screensnapshot/shot-%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S-$w-$h.jpg'
Shift Mod4 F12 :ExecCommand scrot -d 1 screensnapshot_"$(date)".png
None F13 :ExecCommand scrot -d 1 screensnapshot_"$(date)".png
Shift F13 :ExecCommand scrot -d 1 screensnapshot.png
