Hi everyone
I'm running fvwm 2.5.8, XFree86 4.3.0, Debian unstable.
I have a 106 key keyboard. There are 3 keys(top row, to right of
function keys) which I wish to bind. There appears to be no entry in
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h for any of these keys. The keys have
symbols on them - my interpretation of them is that they represent
a 'No lock' key, a 'sleep' key (symbol of a moon) and an 'alarm'
key.
Does anyone have any advice as to how would I go about getting the Keyname of these keys(or creating ones) so I could then bind them to my desired functions?
According to the xev output below, they have no names attached to them yet. To be able to bind anything to them, you need to assign KeySyms to them first. You can use xkeycaps to find a keyboard layout that activates them and then let it generate an Xmodmap file for it. Or you can do that manually with the xmodmap command.
you can also look for the given keyboard model and if you can't find one create a new one, it's fairly simple (see xkb, config files in /etc/X11, probably, depends on distro)
