bind a sequence of keys to run an application? I just installed 3ddesk and it works great but I can't seem to figure out the key binding thing.

I want to bind CTRL+SHIFT+D to /usr/bin3ddesk

I am still reading up on this but I figured I could ask for a primer.... Thanks!

Is this to make typing one handed more convenient?

it's so I can use a keyboard command instead of a console to run this app. Here is the site (http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/index.php) where I got the desktop changer application. It's a 3D desktop changer that I like, is it required that I have it? No I thought it would be cool to show some of what Linux can do.

Does this mean you no longer type on two PC's at the same time?

know who I am, and that means that you are probably in the Navy or were. Drop me an e-mail let me know who you are.

Hmm, in wmaker you could do this with the menu editor in the wmaker config util. Simply add a command to do what you want, and then give it a key shortcut (ctrl-shift-D or whatever.) In other window managers, the process would be similar I imagine, assuming they support key combinations for apps.
