  I know you've probably done this already, but you have to run bsetbg once

iconized bbkeys

2001-11-13 Thread Roman Neuhauser

Hi there,

bbkeys-0.3.6 started from .xinitrc with bbkeys -i  doesn't capture the
keypresses. Is there a way to make it work without cluttering the desktop?

Or rather, since I just realized that the current version is 0.8.3, is this
fixed in the newer versions?

TIA

Blackbox fails to start

2001-11-13 Thread Andras B.

Hello,

I really would like to use Blackbox since it looks like a really
window manager. However, if I try starting blackbox (from a console), I
only get *one* error message and nothing happens:

failed to open catalog, using default messages

is the only thing it tells me. I am using Debian unstable, compiling
bb or installing the debian package makes no difference.
Could anyone help me?

[Fwd: chained keygrabs]

2001-11-13 Thread Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper

Umm.  Broken internals  Heh.  Basically, to do this cleanly, I'd
have to do a major overhaul of bbkeys's internals.  Not so much because
they're broken now as much as the paradigm for how bbkeys operates would
COMPLETELY change, not to mention a radical departure from what morel
was working on as far as implementing rudimentary keybinding support in
blackbox proper.  There's no way I'd want to do something like this if
it's not done right.  And by right I mean in a manner that is
consistent throughout bbkeys itself as well as the configuration tools,
and cleanly coded, easy to maintain and follow.

More than anything, I'm curious if anyone else has the desire/need for
this kind of functionality.  If I understand it correctly, this is
leaning towards the Emacs model of keybindings that allow chaining
things.  So, you press alt+M and then press control+Up to do
something.  I would like to get some feedback from the blackbox user
community on this--both interest in this sort of functionality as well

Subject: chained keygrabs

Here is a patch to allow rudimentary support for chained
keygrabbing. It allows you to specify one global prefix which must
preceed any other keybinding. For example:

KeyToGrab(m), WithModifier(Control), WithAction(Prefix)
KeyToGrab(a), WithModifier(Control), WithAction(ExecCommand),DoThis(aterm)

would allow you to hit Ctrl-m and then Ctrl-a to start aterm.

Proper chaining will not be complete untill some of the broken
internals of bbkeys are fixed.

It is against the current CVS codebase. If there is any interest, I'd
be persuaded to create a proper patch file.

Use ps to see if bbkeys is running.

From your .xinitrc above, it is not running.

An exec starts the program (i.e. blackbox) by replacing the current
process (/bin/sh). So, in other words, bbkeys is never even started!

Place the bbkeys line before the exec line. (Remember that exec stops the
current script from being used, so should be at the last line.)

So here is the advantage scenario:

You have an alt-a keybinding.  You could then have a ctrl-m alt-a binding for
something else.  The virgo among us (you know, the guys who color organize
their sock drawer) can then have all of their exec something bindings under
say ctrl-x and their workspace handling under ctrl-w.

This is why emacs has chained bindings -- otherwise you run out of keys fast. 
Do we care, dunno.

As an aside, is morel still hacking?  I am getting the urge to dive in.

that's got blackbox running and want to switch to another Windows desktop.
Sorry...that's confusing.

Anyways, in this situation, which sounds similar to using bbkeys with

keystrokes to other apps if it decides it's not mapped in bb?  Or do ALL
keys grabbed by bbkeys never get seen by other Windows apps?

Well, obviously if all keys were grabbed by bbkeys, then you wouldn't be
able to type much. So, in BB, you'd setup ^Z + Alt+TAB to change windows,
and then just plain old Alt+TAB is avail for any Virtual environments that
you're running, and so on.

For the mp3 player example, most good mp3 players offer some sort of

bbappconf

2001-11-13 Thread Derek Cunningham

Blackbox,

Umm... I'm running bbappconf... and first off, neat. Second... I removed the
window decorations from aterm, but now I can't move it anywhere! At least
with a borderless eterm (using it's commandline options) I could use
ALT+MOUSEBUTTON1 to move it around.

Ideas how I can move these around?

thanks.

DC

bb'ers..

can bbkeys grab: space, `, or any of those characters (ie: other than
arrows, and alpha-nums)?

Re: Blackbox fails to start

2001-11-13 Thread scott

I am usually too lazy to exit out of my current WM if i want
to test out a new WM here's a quick way to test new WM's
without shutting down the one you're currently running --
fire up X on another display.

create a script in your home directory start-x like this:
#!/bin/bash
xinit -- :1 

then, in your ~/.xinitrc put the path to your blackbox binary
and any progs you want started with blackbox.

Then, at a console, run start-x, and hit ALT+F8 (at least
on a mandrake box) to get to the second instance of X that
you just started on display :1.  You should see blackbox.

If not, then there's probably something wrong with your version
of BB.  If BB's there, rejoice ;-) and get to troubleshooting the 
reason why it won't be your normal WM on --display :0

 From this message, I assume blackbox is running. Use ps(1) to see if it
  is. (This message just means it can't find your native language support
  data.)
 
 I'm doing that after I have quit Enlightenment or killed gdm, no other
 window manager is running.
