Guys, For those working with enlightenment e16, a few keybindings can really help. I've posted a few for iconfying windows, etc. before, but I've come up with a few more that are useful to me so I thought I would pass them along. First, basics, your keybindings are generally controlled by the system-wide file /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg. To set up custom keybindings, simply copy the system-wide file to your ~/.e16 directory for modification. You can edit it by hand if you want to google while you work to figure out what it available, or simply install e16keyedit which will make like much easier. Just run it and it will pick up your ~/.e16/bindings.cfg by default. It's straight forward, the only thing I do is just remember to hit 'save' in between each key addition or key assignment. The keybinding I have set just give me a run dialog, the kwrite & kate editors, and firefox and thunderbird. You can configure anything you like. The basic form of the keybinding entry for running a program in e16 is: KeyDown <SCA> <key> exec program # where: <SCA> are the modifier keys Shift, Control or Alt; <key> is just the key you want to assign the program to; and program is just the executable name for the program you want to run ** You don't have to background the process (no &), it's done for you Here are the examples of the binding I set: KeyDown A semicolon exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A backslash exec restart KeyDown A slash wop * shade KeyDown - Print exec ksnapshot KeyDown A Print exec ksnapshot --current KeyDown A Escape exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A k exec kwrite KeyDown SA k exec kate KeyDown SA f exec firefox KeyDown SA t exec thunderbird ( I prefer 'bbrun' over 'fbrun' for the run dialog. I thought krunner would be overkill.) Note: if you do use bbrun, you MUST use the -w, --withdraw option. This causes bbrun to go straight to the command entry dialog. Otherwise you will have what looks like the systray wrapper window left on the screen after you execute a command and a good chance on locking up your desktop. (ctrl+f1; 'killall bbrun' will fix it if you happen to miss this first). Also, when selecting keys, make sure you choose keys that will not conflict with existing menu shortcuts, etc... p.s. - I know I have two bbrun commands defined above. I use the one with the ';', but included the Alt+Escape because that is the way it is set in E17. Have fun ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
