Re: bbkeys 0.3.6 released
is it possible to have many keys execute an app? instead of just one? for eg: I know I CAN start netscape with C-n, however I would personally rather something like C-x C-n (kinda like *Emacs). Will that work? DC Jason vanRijn Kasper wrote: > So. It's been a while. =:) bbkeys 0.3.6 is hereby released into the wild, > may > God have mercy on us.

Had I just copied the exec_ext_cmds() code from gileSHELL (my sad little command shell), it would have worked right. However, I saw that a good bit of my patch did make it in to bbkeys, and that makes me a happy hacker. (Note: on bbkeysConfigC, I would have had it append to the file instead of overwriting Screwing around with it left me with a zero length .bbkeysrc) Also, for you FreeBSD users, here is the corrected Makefile for bbkeysconf. This is for you if you installed Qt2 using packages/the ports system: --> Begin Makefile CXX=c++ MOC = moc2 LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib -lqt2 -lX11 CXXFLAGS = -g -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/qt2 -I/usr/X11R6/include TARGET =bbkeysconf PREFIX =/usr/local/bin OBJECTS = gui.o main.o myapplication.o SOURCES = gui.cc main.cc myapplication.cc MOCSRC =gui.hh MOCOUT =gui.moc .SUFFIXES: .cc .o .hh .moc .cc.o: $(SOURCES) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c -o $@ $< .hh.moc: $(MOCSRC) $(MOC) $< -o $@ all: $(TARGET) $(TARGET): $(OBJECTS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS) clean: @echo "Cleaning up..." /bin/rm -f *.o *.moc $(TARGET) install: @echo "Looking for executable..." ; \ if ! test -x $(TARGET) ; then \ make; \ fi; \ if ! test -x $(TARGET) ; then \ exit; \ fi; \ echo "Checking existance of $(PREFIX)"; \ if ! test -d $(PREFIX) ; then \ echo "Hey. $(PREFIX) doesn't exist.

Re: bbkeys 0.3.6 released
Yeah, that's a feature. =:) I wasn't about to recode the configurator
that I consider will be the least-used for this As far as the
"x-cut-buffer" feature goes, why not just combine it with the
ExecCommand directive so that bbkeys looks for a '%s' in any ExecCommand
directive and before he runs the command, replaces it with what's in X's
standard hilighted buffer? Would this require the user to maintain a
slightly higher level of cluefullness and manually put an '%s' in any
ExecCommand that he wanted that functionality? Yes.
But I'd be much more inclined to accepting a patch to do that than
one that would complicated things more than they already are

So I can have: C-n: netscape %s and bbkeys will put the value of the current X selection where %s is. What I see is another bbkeys command 'selection-command' which does basically what 'command' does but also does the buffer read and string manip. BTW, the bbkeysconfC does not allow one to add an exec command, only window commands.
RE: bbkeys 0.3.6 released
And a real debian package was just uploaded, unstable users will see it tonight. I removed the QT depends, it now uses the console app.
Re: bbkeys 0.3.6 released
Harumph. Ahhhm. No. Didn't put that one in In hindsight, I guess
I could say something along the lines of "I'm waiting for bbkeysconf to
be removed for the bbkeys package to fix the QT dependency problem" or
something horrible like that, =:), but quite honestly, it has been such
a long time since I've had time to sit down and look at bbkeys that I
completely forgot about that. In fact, I can't honestly remember what
it was that the patch did. =:\
Indulge me in this Can someone who uses the patch or is familiar
with it respond to the list with what exactly it does (I seem to recall
it being more than a simple keygrab--I think it also had a corresponding
configurable action for dealing with the buffer contents). And further,
I'd like to hear some discussion and feedback on whether anybody would
find use for such a feature. My thought is, if it's bigger than a
breadbasket and harder to implement and configure than a simple
keybind->action pair, and there's not a level of interest behind it,
then I'll put it on the back burner until I get a chance to look at my
code again. However, if there's interest (and corresponding patches to
0.3.6) =:), I'll definitely make time to look at it...
Thanks all

bbkeys 0.3.6 released
So. It's been a while. =:) bbkeys 0.3.6 is hereby released into the wild,
may
God have mercy on us. Thanks to several patches and ideas sent in from
my little user community (look, Ma, I've got users!!), bbkeys now sports
several new really neato features, such as window moving and resizing via
keystroke navigation. Also, I've reworked the methodology behind the
whole configuration launch thingey (Kyle, you were -> <- this close), and
I've reworked the very simple "just to get you started with bbkeys
configuration" C program, bbkeysConfigC, that gets launched in an xterm
or
rxvt to be a little bit more useful and much more informative. (Can you
say
DISCLAIMER, anyone?)
Also in this release is an updated bbkeysconf package (available in rpm,
deb, lemon-lime, and tooty-fruity flavors) that allows configuration of
these
new and improved bbkeys features. Trek on over to
http://movingparts.net/bbkeys.shtml
to download your choice of rpm, deb, or source-ball. As always, please
let
me know of any problems or issues you may have with this fine, quality
product =:)
