Hello,
I am trying to emulate media keys in my keyboard by assigning a shortcut
like Mod4 + a key in the Home block
The code its like this
awful.key({ modkey,}, "Delete",
function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("xdotool key XF86AudioMute") end
),
But it didnt work. If I execute the command in a terminal, it works. If I
asssign some other function to the same key combination, it works too.
I have tried with os.execute() and awful.util.spawn() as well, but no avail.
I also tried something like this that I saw in other post that explained
that awesome was grabbing the key, so it needed a delay to give me time to
release the key before xdotool was executed:
awful.key({ modkey,}, "Insert",
function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("sh -c 'sleep 0.5;xdotool key
XF86AudioPlay") end ),
And didnt work either, so I am out of ideas.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
This is the version of awesome I have
awesome v3.5.5 (Kansas City Shuffle)
