 Traditionally, it has been a window manager issue.

If you install and run bbkeys from ports, and specify key bindings, it works
over all window managers I have tried.

mapping apps to keys in X Windows

2003-11-01 Thread Dru

Does any know if there are any tools or configurable scripts that come
with X that allow a user to map an application to a shortcut key? Or is one
supposed to instead use their window manager or an application in the ports
collection (such as xbindkeys).

TIA,

Dru

this is normaly a feature of your windowmanager. for example
under fvwm2(1):

Key g   A M Exec exec /usr/X11R6/bin/galeon

xbindkeys should work to.
