There is a package which is called 'xwit' from which you can control tons of wierd things in XWindows. Focus/iconify/scroll-up windows by name (or class?), and control the mouse pointer amongst other things. Installed the package and added the following to my .bbkeysrc KeyToGrab(Up), WithModifier(shift+control), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xwit -rwarp 0 -10) KeyToGrab(Down), WithModifier(shift+control), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xwit -rwarp 0 10) KeyToGrab(Left), WithModifier(shift+control), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xwit -rwarp -10 0) KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(shift+control), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xwit -rwarp 10 0) Now Shift+Control+Up moves the cursor 10 pixels up the screen. Yay! xwit and bbkeys make a deadly combination! Steve -- The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny..."' - Isaac Asimov
