Using NumPad keys?

[Hugo Heden]

Dear list, 

I'm trying to configure keynav to use the NumPad-keys, but I'm not sure what to write in .keynavrc, Is it possible to do that? I've tried as follows, but that will not affect the NumPad keys (only the regular number keys) -- 

4 cut-left

2 cut-down

8 cut-up

6 cut-right

7 cut-left,cut-up

9 cut-right,cut-up

1 cut-left,cut-down

3 cut-right,cut-down

How do I specify NumPad keys?

Best regards

Howdy!

Number pad keys have special symbols, generally prefixed with KP_, such as KP_5 - that should work for you :)

Let me know if you have any other issues.

Ah, KP for KeyPad I guess. Works excellently, thanks a lot!

To be fair I only know these things because I've spent too many hours waist-deep in X11 client code. It's a miracle I'm still mostly sane! :)

Is there list of these symbols somewhere? Some source file in some X11 client code or something would do :-) 

For example, I would like to experiment with using other keys in the keypad (other than the numbers) for various purposes.. such as:

ctrl+NumLock start # Nope

ctrl+KP_NumLock start       # Hmm, no

or maybe weird things like:

KP_5 warp,end,sh "xdotool key shift+NumLock" 

(last piece there in order to enable the "usual" accessibility mouse keys after keynav has finished)

And how do I specify the division sign (for instance) on the keypad? (KP_/  and KP_div don't seem to work.)

In fact, maybe it's the regular arrow-keys I want to use.. 

Arrow_Left

LeftArrow

No.. Hm -- a list of key-symbols would be useful :-)

On my Debian there is /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h from the package
x11proto-core-dev.

Another ancient but still neat and useful tool for such questions is
xkeycaps: http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/

IIRC they're called just Left, Right, Up and Down without Arrow
somewhere.

Kind regards, Axel

Ah, thanks, same here (Ubuntu).

Also on web: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xproto/tree/keysymdef.h (no idea if official version..)

Seems correct from looking at that header file. Will try!

Thanks a lot!
