Key Binding

[Tony Hammitt]

Which window manager are you using?  KDE has pretty simple 
configuration, I hear.  I don't even know about gnome.  My FVWM setup 
was a little more complicated but it's a _lot_ more flexible than any of 
the other WM's key configurations (for instance, it can easily do 
anything you can write in a script and can behave differently with shift 
control or alt)

You can always just bind the keys to function keys, here's what I have 
for my Logitec Cordless Desktop Pro:

# left 'doze    keycode 115     F13
# right 'doze   keycode 116     F14
# menu          keycode 117     F15
# logitech      keycode 161     F28
xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = F13'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 116 = F14'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 117 = F15'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 161 = F28'

# sleep         keycode 223     F16
# home          keycode 178     F17
# email         keycode 236     F18
# search        keycode 229     F19
# run           keycode 230     F20
xmodmap -e 'keycode 223 = F16'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 178 = F17'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 236 = F18'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 229 = F19'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 230 = F20'

# mute          keycode 160     F21
# vol down      keycode 174     F22
# vol up        keycode 176     F23
# pause         keycode 162     F24
# stop          keycode 164     F25
# replay        keycode 144     F26
# skip to next  keycode 153     F27
xmodmap -e 'keycode 160 = F21'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 174 = F22'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 176 = F23'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 162 = F24'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 164 = F25'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 144 = F26'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 153 = F27'
