Hi,

I need to have a command such as

Code: Select all

$shrtct "my_command"

That would directly link a key with my_command.

My idea was to use ksuperkey, map it to another key combination and then change the file ~/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc. The problem is that I am unable to update this file.

Any idea,

Thanks

This is only a guess, but I think you need to stop some service (Input Actions?) in order to make a change in that file, otherwise the change will just be overwritten.

Also I'm curious about why you use ksuperkey. Is the shortcut key a modifier key?

I don't know how to solve your problem, but another solution could be to use xbindkeys. In that case you can update ~/.xbindkeysrc and just restart the xbindkeys process.

I have manage to use xmacroplay:

function rec(){ sleep 0.5; xmacrorec2 -k 9 > ~/keyboard 2&> /dev/null & sleep "$@"; for i in $(pgrep xmacro); do kill $i; done
}
function repl(){
xmacroplay "$DISPLAY" < ~/keyboard
}

That is fine when executing from terminal. If I link a shortcut with repl(), the key refuse to appear (though the mouse works perfectly)

Any idea?

What command do you use to invoke xmacroplay? It could be any number of factors preventing it from working...
