"OBkey" running on #! 9.04

I test it on #! 9.04, simple way to edit the 'rc.xml'

http://code.google.com/p/obkey/

Usage :

Simply unpack it (or clone git repo) and run as the python script, by default it uses ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml as a config file containing keyboard setup.

./obkey

Re: "OBkey" running on #! 9.04

This is something I always missed in Openbox, a GUI to edit keybindings. Thanks for sharing.

It works fine, but its interface need some love, it is kinda cluttered. It could look more like obmenu.

Re: "OBkey" running on #! 9.04

ive already played around with this, seems to work ok as far as i can see.

i sent corenominal a PM about the possibility of including it in #! 9.10, don't know if it will make it tho.

fyi
Slitaz has an openbox utility for modifying autostart.sh, i tried to get ahold of the source but could only find it running the livecd, should be portable (it was a bash script) if i can manage to get ahold of it.

Supposedly its two programs in one. One is for changing GTK themes and the other for autostart. To start the autostart one, you run "scriptname autostart".

if anyones interested, you need to install 'gtkdialog' first

also if it doesn't read you config file correctly (~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh) it treats commented out commands as '#command' (no space) and comments for a command are interpreted as '# comment' (with a space) preceding a command.
