I've been reading the fluxbox documentation, and have been getting my keybindings and such as right as I can over the past week. However, I don't see any method in fluxbox for setting a window state to fullscreen, which I would think would be an option somewhere...
Anybody know if this can be done, or better yet, if fluxbox offers an action for it that I can bind a key to?
I think you have to assign a keystroke to the action in the keys file.
So something like:
Mod1 Ctrl + :MaximizeWindow
The above syntax may not be 100% correct. I don't understand the difference between specifing Mod1 and Mod4, etc.
:MaximizeWindow is the action, that's the important part. You should be able to assign any keystroke to that action.
I got the syntax and other info from hitting the Prev button on that link to go back a few pages.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the input... Actually though, I'm looking for fullscreen specifically (no window titlebar, no resize bar, no fluxbox panel). I'm positng my current .fluxbox/keys file below for clarification (and for others who might be reading this thread looking for a head-start of sorts):
Code:
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow
Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow
Mod1 F1 :Workspace 1
Mod1 F2 :Workspace 2
Mod1 F3 :Workspace 3
Mod1 F4 :Workspace 4
Mod1 F5 :Workspace 5
Mod1 F6 :Workspace 6
Mod1 F7 :Workspace 7
Mod1 F8 :Workspace 8
Mod1 F9 :Workspace 9
Mod1 F10 :Workspace 10
Mod1 F11 :Workspace 11
Mod1 F12 :Workspace 12
Mod4 F1 :SendToWorkspace 1
Mod4 F2 :SendToWorkspace 2
Mod4 F3 :SendToWorkspace 3
Mod4 F4 :SendToWorkspace 4
Mod4 F5 :SendToWorkspace 5
Mod4 F6 :SendToWorkspace 6
Mod4 F7 :SendToWorkspace 7
Mod4 F8 :SendToWorkspace 8
Mod4 F9 :SendToWorkspace 9
Mod4 F10 :SendToWorkspace 10
Mod4 F11 :SendToWorkspace 11
Mod4 F12 :SendToWorkspace 12
Mod4 n :Minimize
Mod4 m :Maximize
Mod4 x :Close
Mod4 k :KillWindow
Control F2 :ExecCommand fbrun
Mod1 Shift f :ExecCommand /usr/local/firefox/firefox
Mod4 i :ExecCommand xzgv
Mod4 c :ExecCommand /usr/local/color/bin/gcolor2
Mod4 q :ExecCommand aterm
Mod1 e :ExecCommand aterm -name alsa -e alsamixer
Control Shift m :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master toggle
Mod1 Shift equal :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master 5%+
Mod1 Shift minus :ExecCommand amixer -q set Master 5%-
Mod1 Mod4 equal :ExecCommand amixer -q set PCM 5%+
Mod1 Mod4 minus :ExecCommand amixer -q set PCM 5%-
Control Shift s :ExecCommand xmms --fwd
Control Shift e :ExecCommand xmms --play-pause
Huh, haven't heard of that one before... I think I'll give it a try. I like the idea of tiling window managers, but I always end up switching back after a while (mostly because of bugs like the GTK save-as dialog problem). Maybe things have gotten better since then; thanks for the reminder
