What is the "Fn" key modifier for OpenBox RC? [Solved]

Hello,
I would use a pro-help on setting the keyboard shortcut combinations marked on my Lenovo ThinkPad X61 keyboard - Especially for Fn + F5, Fn + F2, Fn + F3 and Fn + F4 combinations.
I cannot find any help on "Fn" key modifier for openbox rc file.
Is there any script that sets it all at once?

Hello,

you need to use the application called xev (started in a terminal) to find the keycode of the Fn-key. Have a look at this site: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_ge … ys_to_work
Good luck, if you get stuck, let us know 

Edit: the file to be edited is ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml (right click desktop -> Settings -> Openbox -> edit rc.xml)

not to be bitchy, just to help you out, but whenever you have a question please do a forum search first. this kinda thing comes up once and again and has been answered in a similar way various times before. so instead of making a new thread, you could've maybe solved this by following the instructions in the thread machinebacon linked.

if you have performed a forum search and couldn't get it to work anyway, you can of course just post a help-thread.
when this thread solves it for you, remember to mark it 'Solved' by editting your first post.
