Hey, just wanted to let ya know:
I dono why, but when I did
cd
then:
xbindkeys --default >
/home/cgilland/.xbindkeysrc
I get a help message telling me about all the
option arguments I can use with xBindKeys.
When I looked in the home directory with ls, I
definitely! see the .xbindkeysrc file, however, when I open it from the terminal
in GEdit, nothing's in it.
I added the two lines anyway, but I'm not gonna
start up the daemon until you instruct me further, as I don't wanna start it,
then wind up braken sumpthin.
Chris.

Keypress to launch Orca
I have found an answer. It's not very
hard to do actually.
For anyone else interested, here's how to get it up
and running with ctrl+alt+o
In terminal:
sudo apt-get install
xbindkeys
Once it has installed, type:
xbindkeys --default >
/home/username/.xbindkeysrc
replace username with your home folder name, in
my case it was
/home/stormdragon/.xbindkeysrc
Then, in your home folder,
type:
gedit .xbindkeysrc
If you aren't sure if you are in your home
directory you can quickly get there by typing:
cd
Once you have the
.xbindkeysrc file opened in gedit, scroll down to the bottom of the
file. There are 3 lines at the bottom there 34 # characters followed by
something like #end configuration and 34 more # characters.
Just above
these three lines, typ in the following 2 lines:
"orca"
control+alt +
o
Notice the quotes around the word orca and the space at the end of alt
then the plus and another space and o
Hopefully one day Gnome will build in
a keyboard shortcut, but for now this is a quick and easy fix. The last
step, once you have saved and closed gedit is to typ:
xbindkeys
This
starts the xbindkeys daemon.

PS There is a gui for
xbindkeys. It is called xbindkeys-config. It is not accessible
with Orca however.

Subject: [orca-list] Setting up a Keypress to launch
Orca
Hi,
I would like to set up a
keybinding to launch orca from anywhere. The one I have in mind is
ctrl+alt+o
Is there an easy way to do this?
The reason I am
wondering, is some times Orca goes silent and when I get it to come back I
find that I have renamed one of my folders or files orca. I am
guessing I am pressing f2 a little before alt and activating the rename
function.
I think a keybinding that could be used anywhere would solve
this problem.
Thanks
Storm
