Hi All,
In a boneheaded move, I ended up deleting quite a few of my .config files
(user/.trinity/…) and while I’ve restored/fixed almost everything back to
the way it was, I can’t seem to re-figure out how I used a mouse click in
keyboard shortcuts.
I had this working globally:
{Windows Key} + {left mouse click} = Minimize application under mouse
cursor
If you get use to it, it’s insanely useful and much easier than tracking
down each app’s minimize button.

I thought I had originally set it up in the Trinity Control Center:
Trinity Control Center >> Regional & Accessibility >> Keyboard Shortcuts
(Global Shortcuts >> Windows >> Minimize Window)
But I can’t get that to take a mouse click in the “Configure Shortcut”
popup. {Windows Key} + {space} works.
AFAIK I didn’t install anything else to do this:
michael@local [~/.trinity/share]# which file xbindkeys xdotool
xautomation easystroke xev
/usr/bin/file
/usr/bin/xev
# # #
So a couple questions:
- Does the “Configure Shortcut” popup take mouse clicks for anyone else?
Would some kind person, see if their TCC Keyboard Shortcuts will accept mouse
clicks as part of a shortcut?
- Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I
need to dig back
into to restore/fix it’s config so mouse clicks can be use in keyboard
shortcuts again?
After installing xbindkeys and futzing with xev and xbindkeys-config, xev is
showing the mouse button clicks firing, but xbindkeys-config doesn’t seem to
see the mouse clicks, or at least it’s not capturing them in its Get Key
function. Anyone have a guess what might be blocking xbindkeys from seeing
mouse events? Or diags to run to narrow it down?
Thanks,
Michael
