Enter that at a console. If it still doesn't work, another program such as X11 might be "taking over" those keys so xbindkeys cannot access them. You could also try running your distribution's Keyboard shortcut modifier program to run a custom command.

I recommend switching to the jQuery UI for better UI elements that are maintained. That’s probably a result of a CSS conflict with another element.

I also found Xbindkeys-config absolutely unintelligible - why couldn't it just have two fields, one where you press the hotkey you want, and the other either put a command or "text" ? The string method doesn't work for me, the simple launch of Firefox does. >Now I just have to find an easy way to reload my xbindkeysrc config file when I make changes. Right now I’m killing the process and launching it again. Obviously xbindkeys-config ought to have a Reload Script button, just like AutoHotKey does. Is that what the Load button does ? Apparently not. There's gotta be a better way. I am another Windows escapee who has come to rely on AutoHotKey.

But I have got a question. I wanted to remap my shutdown / sleep mode keys so that they could work as they are, because the system doesn't react at all while I push on them. I've made the file using "sudo xbindkeys-config" and this is what I've got: #Shutdown "shutdown -h 0" m:0x0 + c:124 XF86PowerOff #Hibernate "hibernate" m:0x0 + c:150 XF86Sleep But still, when I press "Run Action" in XBindKeys Config everything is okay. My Ubuntu hibernates and shuts down. And if I just press these buttons, they don't work. I guess I need to have "root" access here or what's wrong? Thank you very much indeed for this tutorial.

I didn't know how to type QWERTY that well so I challenged myself to learn Dvorak. I'm typing a lot faster with more efficient strokes as well. I'm glade that I invested time in money into this product. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their typing or is looking for a nice keyboard. I own a 2030 and absolutely love it.

But maybe that's because you can do so much just from the command line, which leads to writing your own scripts (i.e. python or perl) Yes I think AutoHotKey for windows is absolutely amazing and I thought it was odd that there isn’t anything really like it on Ubuntu.
