 Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 4:49 am Post subject: Keyboard shortcut in GnomeICU |
 |
|
One thing i always missed in gnomeicu or any other icq clone in linux was keyboard shortcut ( ctrl + shift + i for pop a msg, ctrl + shift + a for pop contact list). In fact i really _hate_ to leave keyboard to just click in the applet and come back to keyboard to answer. Here is a little hack in C solving this (by now).

Sorry, but no README yet. but most useful commands are showhide (show or hide contact list), readevent (pop incoming events) and msg <uin> <text> (send a msg to someone). try "grep COMMAND gnomeicu-0.98.123/src/userserver.c " to list all commands.
Compile it with:
| Code: | | gcc -o icucmd keyboard.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags-only-I glib-2.0` |
Infaithful: "but it's just a command-line app. where's keyboard shortcut?"
Just put your window manager to execute it. In metacity:
| Code: |
gconftool-2 -s --type=string /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 "icucmd showhide"
gconftool-2 -s --type=string /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 "<Control><Shift>a"
|
Repeat that changing command, command number and shortcut if you want (i did for "<Control><Shift>i" pop msgs). and never let you hands left your keyboard again.  |
