\_ Hey all,
\_ Does anyone know how to map a key execute a command, like a /bin/sh
\_ script.
Get a smart keyboard that lets you program macros (a gateway 2k anykey
keyboard, for instance...avail on an ebay near you).
\_ I don't think xmodmap will work,
xmodmap will lie about individual keys, but never whole strings of
them, afaik.
\_ and kde can't do this. I know Enlightenment
\_ and WindowMaker can do this natively,
...because they are full apps and support the notion of key to
arbitrary function. Called 'bindings' in sawfish, fwiw.
\_ but I am using KDE2.1.. Any ideas..
Either convince your window manager to let you bind keys as you want
or investigate the merits of 'hotkeys' (I think) on freshmeat.net.
