*How to setup your keyboard's extra keys in X11.*
Well, it's the day after christmas and like me, you got this new keyboard
with all those sweet little buttons on top. How to configure that you may
ask? Let's explore this together
1. Requirements:
The method I use for using those keys is simple, and only requires a few
applications:
a) X11 (obviously)
b) xbindkeys
c) a text editor
2. Why?
There are many ways of doing this. I decided to use an external application
(xbindkeys) because I switch my window manager/desktop environment often,
and using an external application means that my setup can be carried over
from one to the other without having to reconfigure anything.
3. Installation
Well, you should have X already installed. I know that you can map keys to
the console and blah blah blah. But if you know how to get around the
console and know that you can map keys at that level, you don't need my
help. Let's focus on getting it setup for X11
The only piece of software that needs installation is xbindkeys. First,
download the source from here<http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html>.
Right now, the latest version is 1.7.2.
Either download a binary package, emerge it, pacman it, etc... or compile
it. In order to keep this article within scope, here's a short instalation
tutorial:
Code:
# tar -zxvf xbindkeys-1.7.2.tar.gz
# cd xbindkeys-1.7.2
# ./configure && make && make install
4. Configuration
The first thing we need to do is to map the keyboard events to specific XF86
events. This is done by entering them in ~/.Xmodmap.
Here's a copy of mine:
Code:
keycode 161 = XF86Calculator
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 237 = XF86Music
keycode 230 = XF86WWW
keycode 178 = XF86MyComputer
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 234 = XF86Terminal
keycode 233 = XF86Tools
keycode 223 = XF86PowerOff
keycode 229 = XF86Search
keycode 199 = XF86Messenger
Each line maps a specific keycode to a specific X event handler. To know
what those codes are for your keyboard, use the 'xev' utility. When you run
xev, make sure its window is focused, and press the buttons you need the key
codes for. If you look at the terminal from which you started xev, you
should see something like this:
Grab that keycode, add it to ~/.Xmodmap, and associate it with an X event
handler. A full list of event handlers is available in
XKeysymDB<file://///usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB>
.
Once we have all our codes identified and mapped, time to configure
xbindkeys.
Create a file called ~/.xbindkeysrc that looks a little like this:
Code:
"xcalc"
XF86Calculator
"thunderbird"
XF86Mail
"beep-media-player"
XF86Music
"firefox"
XF86WWW
"rox-filer"
XF86MyComputer
"beep-media-player --play"
XF86AudioPlay
"beep-media-player --stop"
XF86AudioStop
"beep-media-player --fwd"
XF86AudioNext
"beep-media-player --rew"
XF86AudioPrev
"amixer set Master 1+"
XF86AudioRaiseVolume
"amixer set Master 1-"
XF86AudioLowerVolume
"amixer set Master toggle"
XF86AudioMute
"xterm -bg black -fg gray75"
XF86Terminal
"gvim"
XF86Tools
"rox-find"
XF86Search
"putty"
XF86PowerOff
"psi"
XF86Messenger
And done!
Now the only things left, is to add the following two lines to your
~/.xinitrc or whatever your window manager uses (I added them to
~/.icewm/startup in my case), and when you log back in, you will be able to
use this extra keys on your keyboard.
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
xbindkeys
