I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X201 that I use for all things.
It has a blue button near the top that, currently, doesn't do anything:
I want this button to do something awesome.
How?
First, I need it's keycode:
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys
xbindkeys --defaults-guile > ~/.xbindkeysrc.scm
xbindkeys --key
Then I press The Key. This returns:
Press combination of keys or/and click under the window.
You can use one of the two lines after "NoCommand"
in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc to bind a key.
"NoCommand"
m:0x0 + c:156
XF86Launch1
Great, so I know it's keycode is 156 and, even better, it has a symbol XF86Launch1.
I've gotta clean up that config file:
Great. Now, I'll edit ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml to read:
<keyboard>
...
<keybind key="XF86Launch1">
<action name="Execute">
<command>/home/my_user/bin/_blue_key_of_doom_</command>
</action>
</keybind>
...
</keyboard>
Running openbox --reconfigure reloads the keybindings. And, sure enough, the
test script runs.
For now, I'll just make the script execute
xterm -fullscreen -e cmatrix
which will immediately plunge the screen into the Matrix.
