Bruce, your post pushed me into figuring out how to make a live link. Much easier than I thought.................

[DaveS]

Cool, it even works...............

[Béèm]

That's what tags are for.
And you can make it even nicer.

Type click, highlight it and push the URL tag.
You'll get [url]click[/url]
Edit to see [url=]click[/url]
Leave the cursor just after the = and copy the link you like to reference there.

Try it, you'll see it.

Thanks to this thread I now have "F" keys opening commonly used applications. Or rather I should say I now know how to change my jwm .rc file to add whatever "F" key shortcuts I choose.

Thanks.

I'd like my Windows key to bring up the menu, so did the XEV thing with F1 and the Windows key. In case it's relevant, it records the data twice for one key press.

F1 gives about 5 lines, including:

After rereading the JWM docs, reconfiguring, and testing, I've found what you need. From the docs: "keycode may be specified instead of key if the key code is known but the key is not (or there is no symbol for the key code)"

So try this:

[Rickrandom]

<Key keycode="115">root:3</Key>

now working. Thanks.

Where did you find that info? (So that next time I can try to be a little more self-sufficient rather than crying for help )

download the xev.zip file above. extract it to / . Then in the console type /xev . When it opens press the button you would like to recognize, and it will give you a "keycode". remember the code and open up /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal . Under the "<!-- Key bindings -->" insert this line, using your keycode. (mine is "133")
<Key keycode="133">maximize</Key>

There you go. If you cant just click on the jwmrc-personal file to open it. right click on it click file and then set run action. then enter this --> defaulttexteditor "$1" <-- (without the arrows) then click use command. Be sure to save the jwmrc file after you edit it. the go to the "menu" on the desktop go to shutdown and click "Restart JWM"

I hope this works. For more codes go to http://joewing.net/programs/jwm/config.shtml#keys

This is how I test my keyboard to see if the windows key is identified:

1) Right click on a desktop icon (for instance "browse")
2) Left click on the text "(click to set)"
3) Choose desired shortcut key combination, i.e. "windows key" + b
4) If this gives a result like "Super+b" or "Hyper+b" or "Super+Hyper+b" you know that the keyboard is set up right.

Myself I had to change keyboard layout from Generic 101 to Generic 105 to use my windows key. You change keyboard layout in Menu > Setup. And you can add JWM shortcuts with Menu > Desktop > JWM Configuration.

Newbie to Linux here too, just downloaded a preconfigured puplet and I can't find any threads or information where the default shortcuts are specified, so I guess I'll ask here instead. Anyone point me in the right direction? And how to change/set them?

[liro]

Is it possible to use these shortcuts in the JWM configuration to assign a key to output a certain string of text? If so, what would you put in the "action" field to achieve this?

Thanks.
