liquidzoo Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 A little while back iphitus suggested in #musb a program, similar to xbindkeys, that would allow me to use the multimedia keys on my laptop's keyboard. This program worked perfectly, trouble is; I can't remember what it was called. I need to add it to me ~/.xinitrc file so it will start when X does. All I remember is that it is the Gnome equivalent (maybe) to xbindkeys. Anyone (especially iphitus) know what the program is called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 yep, acme. Mandrake should include it or xbingkeys in 10.0. That would be really cool /me sends email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
