. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Hotkeys, on the subject of Linux.

The hotkeys program is cool. apt-get install hotkeys.

That is all.

Any idea where one can find config files for hotkeys? I don’t have a whole lot of time to sit down and figure out the keycodes to make my own.

Everything I’ve found is for specific system vendors (eg. Dell, Compaq, etc.) I’m looking for one for the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite, which obviously isn’t system-specific. There are a number of additional keys on this beast that I’d love to use, especially the scrollwheel.

John: don’t know. On the other hand, making your own one is the work of half an hour with xev and gedit, so it’s not all that difficult…

I’ll give it a whirl. I can start with the msnetpro config, since it’s got a number of the same keys already defined. Thanks!
