I'm key mapping a custom keyboard in KED
on:
lsb_release -rd
Description: openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64)
Release: 12.3
kde4-config -version
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.1 "release 545"
kde4-config: 1.0
I want to map a multi-key chord ("fn"+"F12") in KDE to "eject" my DVD drive.
The keys are active
@ xev
press "F12"
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x264, subw 0x0, time 2099398, (426,527), root:(430,591),
state 0x10, keycode 96 (keysym 0xffc9, F12), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
press "fn"
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x264, subw 0x0, time 2103556, (426,527), root:(430,591),
state 0x10, keycode 135 (keysym 0xffe8, Meta_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
The keysym for eject is defined
grep -i eject /usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h
#define XF86XK_Eject 0x1008FF2C /* Eject device (e.g. DVD)
*/
1st mod'ing a single-key solution,
edit ~/.Xmodmap
- keycode 96 = F12 F12 F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
+ keycode 96 = XF86XK_Eject F12 F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
then
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
returns
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
xmodmap: /home/user/.Xmodmap:89: bad keysym name 'XF86XK_Eject' in
keysym list
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
otoh, mod'ing again
edit ~/.Xmodmap
- keycode 96 = XF86XK_Eject F12 F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
+ keycode 96 = XF86Eject F12 F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
now
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
succeeds
@ xev
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x264, subw 0x0, time 2922751, (596,464), root:(600,528),
state 0x10, keycode 96 (keysym 0x1008ff2c, XF86Eject), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
(1) Should not .Xmodmap not use the "XF86XK_Eject" keysym defined in
/usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h
instead of requiring
"XF86Eject"
or does the keycode definition NOT use the keysym ?
(2) In any case, what next steps do I need to take to 1st get a single-, then
two-, key-press to actually eject the drive drawer? So far, I've not managed
with any keystroke to actually get the drive to eject.___________________________________________________
