[solved] Danish characters in rc.xml

AltoNordica · 2013-01-10 12:36:30

I would like to add a key binding to Alt-æ in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml but cannot make it work. I have tried using, among others, "A-æ" and ""A-0xE6"" where i got the value from xev. Tips ?

Ther relevant line from xev was

state 0x0, keycode 47 (keysym 0xe6, ae), same_screen YES,

Using ae (which I misread as æ) instead of the hex key makes it work.

Did you add it like this,

<keybind key="W-e">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Editor</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>geany</command>
</action>
</keybind>

(That whole section is one keybinding from rc.xml.)

I did this to set toggling full screen

<keybind key="A-æ">
    <action name="ToggleFullScreen"/>
</keybind>

Where æ is a Danish character placed on the keyboard to the right of the L key. I tried using the keycode in hex as well. A regular character like eg. F works when I try that.

Not sure but, try adding </action> before </keybind>

I'm taking it from :-
