Hi. So I read through as much as I could find on the subject of
defining my own keybindings. I can see how to do it from the 9P
virtual filesystem that wmii has setup, but I am under the impression
that it can be done more....properly?...via wmiirc_local and the
local_events() function. Unfortunately, whatever I try to put in
there causes wmii to not watch for any input whatsoever, and I get
locked out from doing anything. Could someone show me an example of
how to, say, change volume with amixer? I have the cli commands:
amixer sset PCM 4+
amixer sset PCM 4-
and I would like to bind those commands to Mod-Control-bracketright
and Mod-Control-bracketleft respectively, or at this point any key
combination really. Could someone show me how to bind those, for
example?
E.g.:
Before:
local_events() { true;}
After:
local_events() {
cat <<'!'
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume # raise the volume
amixer sset PCM 4+ &
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume # lower the volume
amixer sset PCM 4- &
!
}
Since volume control programs should be of the
"return-almost-immediately" variety, I didn't bother with the `eval
wmiir setsid [cmd] &` that most of the default commands seem to use.
(What's the point of the `eval` there?). Makes sense to use the setsid
portion in this example:
local_events() {
cat <<'!'
Key $ALTKEY-slash # open SSH on a host I frequently use
eval wmiir setsid $WMII_TERM -e ssh remote.example.com &
!
}

Best,
