Hm, why don't I get AutoRaise to switch on from .blackboxrc?
Dear all, being new to blackbox I'm trying to get AutoRaise to switch on via .blackboxrc, but I don't seem to succeed. session.screen0.focusModel: SloppyFocus works well, but how do I switch on AutoRaise? I tried with session.screen0.focusModel: autoRaise but that doesn't do it. Tried searching for documentation but not found anything on this - also doc-pages on blackbox.alug.org seem to not exist. This seems like a ridiculous little problem... Thanx for help! -- Carl

My version is 0.61.1. - When you change it in the menu, blackbox will save the new option when it exits, so you won't have to specify it every time, only the once. Ha, it works now, thanx! I read about the auto-saving of configuration in the manual but I've been shutting down X quite coldly with ctrl-alt-del, which probably didn't allow the saving. Will not be so brute from now on.

keybindings
I have a logitech internet keyboard and have loaded the map for the extra keys in XFree86 with this line: Option XkbModel logiinternet I have 3 keys working easily in fluxbox. I have used bbkeys and bbconf to try to load the keys XF86WWW, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, and XF86AudioLowerVolume to execute commands without success. In bbconf when i press the keys over the button for custom key neither keys are recognized yet they show up correctly using xev. Is this a bug or what? The keys work fine in fluxbox and I mostly use fluxbox but I'm curious as to why I can't get them to work in blackbox. Also I can't get the keys to work in kde which has a button to add custom key in kmenuedit that looks just like the button in bbconf(problem with the type of button?). It's mind boggling that they work in fluxbox and not blackbox. -- I've made many statements about being sober, and one I can really say is ... sobriety f**king sucks! --Ozzy Osbourne Chad Young Registered Linux User #195191 @ http://counter.li.org --- Linux localhost 2.4.18-pre7-ac2 #2 Thu Jan 31 18:48:48 AST 2002 i686 unknown 9:30pm up 9:12, 7 users, load average: 0.01, 0.10, 0.14

But I even tried that method b4 I sent my email and blackbox wouldn't run them although they were recognized in bbconf. The point I was trying to make and find out more about is why they would work flawlessly in fluxbox and not in blackbox when the methods of defining them are similar. -- I've made many statements about being sober, and one I can really say is ... sobriety f**king sucks! --Ozzy Osbourne Chad Young Registered Linux User #195191 @ http://counter.li.org --- Linux localhost 2.4.18-pre7-ac2 #2 Thu Jan 31 18:48:48 AST 2002 i686 unknown 2:05am up 13:47, 7 users, load average: 0.03, 0.02, 0.00

I find this hard to believe, I have used the bbkeys and it doesn't work. It should work I can't see why it wouldn't as when I run xev the keys register as they are supposed to.
