 |
|
I just installed fluxbox and I want to configure it so that Control-Left moves to the previous workspace, and Control-Right does the next one.
I put this in my ~/.fluxbox/keys
| Code: |
Control Left: PrevWorkspace
Control Right: NextWorkspae
|
Since the "alt" commands work ok, I tried replace Control with Mod1 to see if the Alt-LEft/Right would work. No dice. So it seems as though flux is not seeing my left/right keys. I know they work though.
My machine is an IBM Thinkpad 560X. I have X configure to swap Caps Lock and Control in case that's relevant (otoh, I can't see whta it would do the "alt" stuff.
I'd really appreciate any advice.

It turns out that the code that reads keys is sensitive to whitespace, or the lack thereof. Once I did this
| Code: |
Control Left :PrevWorkspace
|
It worked. That is, there must be a space after the list of keys, and no space between the colon and the action.
Hmmm, do I dare to see if I can fix this myself?
