identifying keyboard keys

#1 Post by alienjeff »

I'm working on my hotkey layout on v2.11 in /.jwm/jwmrc-personal. After much time searching the forum for a post visited many moons ago, I finally give up and post this.

There is a feature that allows you to press a key on the keyboard and the feature will give you the address (hex?) of the key pressed., though I can't remember whether this was accessible from the menu or just cli.

Please refresh this obviously feeble memory. Thanks.
