WindowMaker: Key Bindings

[JavaCowboy]

Is there any way I can configure WindowMaker, through a configuration file, to associate a key binding to the "Run" command? For example, in KDE, pressing ALT-F2 opens a small window where you can type a command that you want executed. It is already possible to run this command in WindowMaker by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Run". I just haven't figured out how to associate a key binding to it.

I've tried the graphical configuration program, and I wasn't able to find that option in the list of key bindings.

Look around for a program called wmakerconf. I gave up on WPrefs a long time ago and I now use wmakconf exclusively.

Here is a snippet from my WMRootMenu that allows me to use alt-f2 to get a run box:


(Run..., SHORTCUT, "Mod1+F2", EXEC, "%a(Run,Type command to run :)")


Ok....I can't get rid of the smilie...just replace the smilie with a colon and parethesis :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot, it works like a charm.

I'd like to add something, though.

You must but a COMMA (,) at the end of that line, and you'll have to fiddle around for a while to find the best location for that configuration line, otherwise, you'll get an error message.

Thanks again :)
