Starting terminal from X

[nassausky]

I noticed:

in ChickenWings (JWM) the hotkeys Ctrl & Enter starts a terminal and
in Cream the hotkeys Alt+Shift & Enter starts a terminal globally in most of the window managers

I can't find the code in either distribution for this. Would be great if someone can help me find it.

Thanks

^ Sorry have you installed Cream or are you still in Live session ??? Technically it doesn't matter if you are running loads of BBQ versions, but why is this a problem if you know what the differences between them are? (Plus, there was a period of time between each were made...) Sorry just saying!

Cheers
Simon

PS: I think you may get a comment very soon to help you out :)

a couple places to check
1. .xbindkeysrc
2. the wm conf file
IIRC plenty of BBQ spins have a default xbindkeysrc. Also check .xinitrc if xbindkeys is getting started there. There can be conflicts b/t the wm keybindings and xbindkeys

the command

Code: Select all

grep x-terminal-emulator ~/.jwmrc

shows you what's going on in JWM.

For Cream we had to pick a keycombo that does not conflict with existing keycombos of the 75 x-window-managers, so alt-shift-enter is the selected keycombo, managed via ~/.xbindkeysrc and xbindkeys. Chicken Wings (JWM) does not need an external program for keybindings.

For the record I pretty much live in live haha. After I get a sweet live image and tested it on a few machines then I might decide to install it to the HDD.

Well this all started because I am now working on a raspberry pi. I wish I knew enough how to make a bootable image of some of the distributions of linuxbbq on it but until then I found a debian image but I like the idea of having the quick terminal shortcuts.

Thanks for the clues. I can't believe I skimmed by it yesterday in .jwmrc in chicken wings.

Code: Select all

<Key mask="A" key="Return">exec:x-terminal-emulator</Key>

Now I'm going to go digging in cream via xbindkeys like you said. I figured the global hotkey was from a service.

Thanks once again

^ there was talk of a Pi version.
none of the current spins will boot on it (no amd64 or x86 versions of anything will, discounting anything exotic idk about)
needs to be from the ground up - on ARM. I understand debian to be a good base for Pi.

[simgin]

^ Yup Raspian ;)

Debian Jessie runs better than I thought.it would but this is a 2nd generation Pi clone.
