[Solved] winkey

Configuration General Questions
1

I want to assign some functions to Winkey+ some key.
I used xev to find out something about it.

It’s keycode is 115 on left side and 116 on right side.
Would it be possible to use this button? How? It would be cool cause no app is using it under unixes as far as i know.

No, it’s not “damn” – read what I posted to you, rather than guessing. Use xev, and capture its output for the winkey (as per the document already shown to you). What’s the output from ‘xmodmap -pm’ also?

0x73 = 115

I searched in Internet, for X11/keysymdef.h. Seams like smart guys from X.org have removed WIn_L and Win_K

This is from man xmodmap

xmodmap -pm
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
a16b03@localhost ~ $ xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Win_L"
xmodmap:  commandline:1:  bad keysym name 'Win_L' in keysym list
xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.
a16b03@localhost ~ $ 
a16b03@localhost ~ $ xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = LeftWin"
xmodmap:  commandline:1:  bad keysym name 'LeftWin' in keysym list
xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.
a16b03@localhost ~ $

Take a look here:
X11/keysymdef.h
and here:
X11/keysymdef.h (old one)

Please don’t quote the manpage at me. It’s rude. You’ve also failed to give me the output of xev for the keypress I’ve asked for.

Sorry didn’t mean to offend you

KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 34004147, (251,388), root:(397,702),
    state 0x10, keycode 116 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

This is for Right Win Key
Left win key keycode=115
I mapped it to Left Alt (for testing purposes)

KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 34084550, (226,497), root:(372,811),
    state 0x18, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 64
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Here’s what i did:
My Alt_R wasn’t used

So I mapped my Win keys to it

# xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Alt_R"
# xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Alt_R"

Then in FvwmConsole

Key C A 3 Exec xterm

And after pressing Left Win+C xterm appeared

Dam, after

xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "keycode 116 = Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Alt_R"

I can’t switch to consoles using CTRL+ALT+F…

I tried similar thing and it seams to work

DestroyFunc InitFunction
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Exec xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Super_L"
+ I Exec xmodmap -e "keycode 116 = Super_L"
Key I A 4 module FvwmIdent

And i can also switch to consoles.
Seams everything is OK (for now)
