Probably; if the upstream obkey author agrees to port to GTK3, and someone agrees to write a usable man page for it, then I'll attempt packaging it. If Julien likes my packaging, then (assuming no copyright/licencing issues emerge) he can get it into Ubuntu for us :) How's that for (proposed) teamwork?

Yes, it's a good idea to include such software. However, before spending time to package / test / fix it, I would like to know if there are other applications like this available, and try to pick the best one. Currently, not having GTK3 support is not a blocker, but we need to have it in mind when choosing the application. For example, having support for openbox 3.5.0 is IMO much more important.

Interesting find, doesn't look very user friendly though (I've only watched the screencast, looked weird to me).

With Lubuntu's new and growing popularity (I'm among the recent, grateful converts), it seems reasonable to think of small enhancements that will make the migration a little easier. There has been a fair bit of call in the Ubuntu forums for some simple GUI means of editing the applications menu, for example. Making assignments to keys is another one of those tasks that is easily done in other OS's, but non-trivial in Lubuntu. With obkey, there is already a solution to hand. It needs some documentation, but that is more easily done than the coding! Any reactions/responses welcome (even if to tell this new but enthusiastic use that there is a better place to raise this sort of question).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Integrate obkey (or the like)?
Hi Boss, what are the chances of getting this into the repos? Do you have time to chat with the author to get it through testing? I'll help if you tell me what I need to do. Thanks, Phill.

Everybody benefits from as much recycling as possible. My understanding was that the Ubuntu keybinder wouldn't work on Lubuntu (ibus vs. openbox??), which is why this coder developed obkey. Could be quite wrong there, though, so open to correction! Also, 'Development is halted' looks scary to me. I *think* that's because it's stable and does what it's supposed to do, not because it is almost-there-but-abandoned. I've used it myself and it's pretty simple and solid -- though it could certainly use some documentation.

Other than that, it just needs packaging and documentation, as far as I can see. If it were really truly just a matter of packaging, I'd make an attempt; but I'm not about to volunteer for the related documentation- writing and porting-to-PyGObject work.

Hi Jonathan, well at least it was not an out right NO! To make this little wish list come true, needs a the most precious resource of all dev time. Hence my asking the boss if they had time. It really looks good, can we spare a dev to babysit it?
