OBHotkey

OBHotkey is a command line utility for defining hotkeys in the Openbox window manager. The package also includes obhktray which provides a tray icon for defining hotkeys.

Dependencies

OBHotkey requires:

• python-xlib
• PyGTK (only required for obhktray)

Usage

• Define a hotkey to run a command

 obhotkey W-s scite

• Set a prompt

 obhotkey --prompt="Really log out?" W-l oblogout

• Startup notification

 obhotkey --startupnotify --name=Terminal --icon=konsole W-space gnome-terminal

• Define a hotkey to perform an Openbox action

 obhotkey W-A-d =ToggleDockAutohide

• Create a multi-key sequence

 obhotkey W-p e emacs

• Create a multi-key sequence with chroot

 obhotkey +W-p e emacs
 obhotkey +W-p s scite

• Remove a hotkey

 obhotkey W-s ""

Tray icon

 obhktray &

Installs a tray icon. Left-clicking on it brings up a dialog box asking for a key and command. Key syntax is the same as for the command-line utility; separate multi-key definitions with spaces. Leave the command blank (not "") to remove a key.

 obhktray -n

Brings up the dialog box once without installing to the tray. You can use this in a hotkey or menu binding.
