Hi Toby,
What is send-keys? I couldn't find it on Google.
Since you have send-keys, you may not need crikey
http://www.shallowsky.com/software/crikey/ which provides the ability to assign
a key shortcut to a string. The documentation for crikey has improved *a lot*
since 0.5, but 0.8.3 is 4 years old now so the promised extras may not be coming
any time soon.
crikey was expected to be used in conjunction with the window manager to do the
key binding, but there is another utility called Keylaunch which can do it for
you instead. Do a keylaunch& at the start of your session and it will listen for
bound keys (comes with example of binding Shift-Insert).
Cheers ... Duncan.
