Package: xbindkeys
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: wishlist
xbindkey is a gem -- extremely easy to configure and with powerful capabilities
Bug:
* My version doesn't have an AUTHORS file
Wishlist:
* OSD (along the lines done by hotkeys)
* For KDE, a port to QT would be great
Incidentally, why is "wish" listed under "suggests"? I don't see a wish package.
Related utilities:
* hotkeys is excellent, but lacks a frontend and doesn't support mode keys
* xmodmaps is impenetrable -- is it possible to bind scripts to functions?
* keylaunch -- I didn't see a way of using keycodes; my key doesn't have a
keysym
* hotkey-setup -- great, but it doesn't assign functions (or see my key)
* xkeycaps -- no keyboard shows my key
* kcmshell khotkeys -- doesn't see my key
* gnome-control-center / acme -- supposedly works, but I don't see how
The linux console tools in the kbd package are great (replacing console-tools),
though
this whole field is arcane. In brief, I used
setkeycodes e023 155
which xev sees as keycode 236 and xbindkeys assigns functions to at will.
