To call a single key press: xte 'key keyName'
#BUTTON SHORTCUTS VB INSTALL#
Install it: sudo apt-get install xautomation I know of two programs which we can use, xdotool and xte. Now we need to tell linux to call upon cmd when ctrl is pressed.įor this we will need an extra piece of software as xbindkeys does not support this on it's own.
It will tell you the name of the key/key combination. Try pressing ctrl + c (after disabling that shortcut in the terminal using the second part of this explination) Now press ctrl (of cmd) and check the output xbindkeys allows us to use the -k handle to find the name of a key or key combination. Now to actually change the bindings of keys we first need to know what the name or keysym of those keys is. Which prints the default values into a hidden file named. So if you want to create the file containing the default values you would use: xbindkeys -defaults > $HOME/.xbindkeysrc To create a default config file you use the command: xbindkeys -defaults It uses a config file, my default located in your home directory, to change key bindings into certain commands. Xbindkeys is a very versatile program that lets you remap keys very easily. Install xbindkeys sudo apt-get install xbindkeys Couldn't you add custom shortcuts? If that wasn't possible or didn't work you might want to change the keybindings of your vmbox.
