follow blackbox style

Jovan Radukin — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 23:06:03 -0000

How to make bbkeys style match blackbox style. I know
that I can specify same style for bbkeys in .bbkeysrc,
but than I would have to edit bbkeysrc every time I
change blakcbox style. I tried commenting line in
bbkeysrc with style, but that didn't help either.
Please help.

Erros compiling 0.9.0

Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 16:12:56 -0000

Hi.

I'm using a Debian testing system and have problems
compiling bbkeys 0.9.0. There are a lot of errors to
undefined stl allocators or something. See the first
errors in the attached file. I got them copy&pasting.
Tell me how to redirect them to a file if you need all
of them.

xkb patch

Petr Matousek — Mon, 08 Nov 2004 09:57:43 -0000

Hello,

would it be possible to incorporate the Sergey Vlasov's
patch fixing the problem with xkb and multiple
(national) keyboards in newer source code? It would be
really great as currently it is available only for the
version 0.8.5.

I use the 0.9.0beta2 as it is necessary for the last
BlackBox release (0.7.0beta2). I "applied" the patch to
the 0.9.0beta2 somehow manually but I am not sure if it
is done the right way as I am not an expert in X
programming. Even it seems to work for me I (and
probably many other non-english speaking users) would
appreciate some "correct" fix of the problem.

Thank you for your effort, bbkeys are great.

does it work within vnc

kevin — Thu, 08 Apr 2004 00:37:30 -0000

i have been trying to get the bbkeys stuff to work
within a vnc session with out much success.

bbkeys does run, the keyhole pops up, it does create
the .bbkeysrc file with the correct content (as far as
i can tell), but the effect is nil. i have killed the
vnc session and restarted and still no effect.

is this a new condition for its use or is there still
something that i am missing?

i am assuming the bbkeys program doesn't have to
running for the effect to take place? i have tried it
both ways with bbkeys running and not.

thanks

Start up in .xsession

Yang — Fri, 23 Jan 2004 01:54:08 -0000

How do I make bbkeys start every time I log in (and
blackbox starts)? I have changed my .xsession so that
it does:

bbkeys &
blackbox &

and

blackbox &
bbkeys &

but all to no avail. Neither way works. I am rather new
to Unix, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Could not open default config file

Yang — Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:47:19 -0000

I have bbkeys start up in my .bashrc. I installed
bbkeys to $HOME/local, because I am on my school's
computer. Every time I start up bbkeys or use any of
the keys, my console spits:

Could not open default config file:
~/local/share/bbtools/bbkeys.bb
Using internal defaults.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

List of Modifiers wanted

Mertens Bram — Thu, 13 Mar 2003 23:12:44 -0000

I'm trying to configure bbkeys but I can't seem to use the
"Win-keys" as modifiers....

Using bbconf the keys are ignored and I can't find the
specific names of the keys to manually edit ~/.bbkeyrsrc.

The left Win-keys (which is the only key I did got working
so far) should be 'Super_L' according to xev but I have to
use 'Super' or 'Mod4' in ~/.bbkeysrc to get it to work.

However I can't find the names for the right Win-key
('Multi-key' accoring to xev) and the "right-mouse-button"
key ('Menu' according to xev) to work.

I tried Super_R, Mod3, Mod5, Menu and Multi-key.

Any ideas?

Also when I run bbkeys with the -noqt option an xterm
opens up with the following error in it:
"xterm: Can't execvp bbkeysconf.pl -rcfile
/home/m8ram/.bbkeysrc: No such file or directory"

TIA

cannot connect to window manager

Anonymous — Wed, 27 Nov 2002 16:00:41 -0000

im using bb 0.65.0 and bbkeys 0.8.6. although im
running bb on display :0 (i can connect an X11 app to
this display for example), bbkeys constantly complains
that it cannot connect to the window manager.
do i have to set any permission in blackbox itself, or
what else is wrong?
