thanx for help Gerhard
Hi Gerhard, do you mean: 1) add a shortcut to launch an
application? In this case, is the application in the TDE menu? 2)
or add a shortcut to an application's action?
Cheers Michele
Hi Michele,
sorry for beeing not clear enough - neither of the two examples
above. I want to launch a shell program (that is not contained in
the TDE menu) by pressing a keyboard shortcut; e.g. pressing
Ctrl-AnyKey to launch /usr/local/bin/AnyProgram.
Is this possible from within TDE? Or is the question totally
unrelated to TDE?
Hi Gerhard,
would it be a problem if the shell program is added to the TDE menu?
I wanted to
avoid it. But if it's the "easy" solution I'll give it a try. What I
want to accomplish is to suspend the system with a keypress (not using the menue for
this). There are two reasons for not using TDE's menu for suspend: a) it's faster;
b) using my script the screen isn't locked after resume and I have not found the
possibility to do this by using the "Log Out ... > Suspend" TDE menu where
the screen always is locked.
Then it would be possible to assign a keyboard
shortcut to it. I will
have to experiment a little bit to be sure, but first please let me
know the answer to the question above.
Thanks a lot for your help but please
don't bother here. This I surely am able to do by myself.
I might go to sleep soon, so I will probably answer
again tomorrow.
Thanks again and sleep well
Gerhard
