 |
|
Well I was bored today and played around with hotkeys trying to get everything to work...I have an evoN800c with 4+vol up/down keys above, as well as several Fn- keys...
Well I emerge hotkeys and foudn it was surprisingly easy to get working...defined my own keyboard map so that the buttons do the following:
I button = xchat
Mail button = mozilla mail
Magnifying glass = mozilla opening up google (although this is my homepage anyway, you can set up mozilla to open up any URL)
music note = XMMS
Fn-F9 = Play/Pause XMMS...(this works so so, you gotta kinda tap the button to get it to resume playing...any help here would b nice)
Fn-F10 = Stop XMMS
Fn-F11 = Previous Track
Fn-F12 = NextTrack
Only thing I dont have setup yet is the volume buttons and that's because I havent emerged a decent mixer besides umix...havent decided on which to run...suggestions here are welcome as well...
Here's the hotkeys.conf (put in your $HOME/.hotkeys/ directory:
| Code: | # audio actions
PrevTrack xmms --rew
Play xmms --play
Stop xmms --stop
Pause xmms --pause
NextTrack xmms --fwd
# OSD stuffs
osd_font lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24
(should be aliased to -*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*)
osd_color LawnGreen
osd_timeout 3
osd_position bottom
osd_offset 25
# applications
WebBrowser mozilla
Email mozilla -mail
|
and here's ,my EvoN800c definition file...I got the keycodes by using xev so anyone could take an existing def file and modify it to their own keyboard:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<definition>
<config model="Compaq EvoN800c Keyboard+Buttons">
<WebBrowser keycode="154"/>
<Email keycode="158"/>
<!-- Feel free to customize these -->
<PrevTrack keycode="144"/>
<NextTrack keycode="153"/>
<Stop keycode="164"/>
<Play keycode="162"/>
<Pause keycode="162"/>
<userdef keycode="163" command="xchat-2">X-Chat2</userdef>
<userdef keycode="239" command="xmms">XMMS</userdef>
</config>

I have the sister model, Compaq 2800T. The GNOME multimedia keys daemon works swimmingly as well.
