Guest SDMF Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Are there built-in keyboard shortcuts for minimize, maximize, resize, move, etc. in fluxbox? There appears to be no menu like you would find by clicking in the upper left corner or hitting Alt+Space in ms windows/metacity/etc. If you right-click on the top bar of the window you do get a menu, but it does not have all those options. If there are no built in shortcuts, is there some kind of command that I can put into an entry in the .fluxbox/keys file that will allow my to map a key to do those kinds of things?

Guest SDMF Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 No need. I found the documentation on key mapping and did it the old fashioned way - with vi. :) Thanks anyway, I'll probably still check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SDMF Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I got everything the way I want it, except for a couple things, which I don't know if I can do. As far as the NextWindow/PrevWindow actions, I would like if I could change the behavior to something more like MS Windows or Gnome, where the most recently used application will be switched to by hitting Alt+Tab (mapped to NextWindow 0 in fluxbox). Also, I saw no way in the documentation to get at iconified applications by a key mapping, and I would like to do that too. I checked out fluxkeys, but it's only really a frontend to create the .fluxbox/keys file, and just executes the actions specified in the documentation. Furthermore, it doesn't appear to like to create chained key mappings. So, I don't think I will be using that program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
