Subject: [openbox] Do some action even if keychain is not complete

Hello. Probably there is some misunderstanding. My question is not
about what actions should I bind to some keys, but about Keychains
them self: If I have keychain like Meta+Left+Up keychain
Meta+Left+Down will also work, but I would like to make keybind
Meta+Left work too.
For example:
Meta+Left - one action
Meta+Left+Up - another action
Meta+Left+Down - one more action

According to someone [1], it should work with the latest nvidia-drivers now.

When opening the root menu with a keybinding, is it possible to have
it open in a pre-set location rather that wherever the pointer happens
to be?

i think you would need a helper like xdotool for that.
but it would also make the mouse jump to that point i guess.

I've tried to do this with xdotool and wmctrl and couldn't get it to work.
This functionality is at the top of my christmas wish list.

I answered a similar question earlier this year which might help:

Subject: [openbox] How focus is managed by Openbox with XI2 extension
Message-ID: <B5C08D0551409840B1066F4CFA06BF810122FAC3@INFRA-BLN-EXP.psi.de>

Hi

I try to understand  how focus is managed in XI2 environment with
multiple input devices (MPX). I noticed that Openbox sends SetInputFocus
request to set focus on window which was clicked. Openbox works properly
with multiple cursors and keyboards from XI2 extension, I can use one
master device pair to operate on one window and another master pair to
operate on another window. But Openbox does not use XI2 extension and
uses core SetInputFocus request which does not define device id. In XI2
focus is set for the given master keyboard device to the given X window
(XISetFocus method
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man3/XIGetFocus.3.html).  I
think that If server receives SetInputRequest request which does not
contain device id then server shouldn't know on which device it should
set focus to the given window. But it works and I have no idea how it
works. How does server know on which keyboard master device to set the
focus? Maybe when X server receives SetInputFocus request it checks
which master pointer is on window contained in request and sets focus on
master keyboard which is a pair of master pointer.  I posted question on
superuser StackExchange
(http://superuser.com/questions/813939/how-focus-is-managed-in-x-window-
system-with-xi2) but It has remained  unanswered.  I used xscope to
monitor communication between X server, Openbox and other clients. May
be xscope does not show everything. 

Please explain me how it works.

I'm also not sure. I would try looking around in the X server
implementation of SetInputFocus or in XI2's backward compatibility code. I
doubt cursor position has anything to do with it though.

Thank you all, gentlesapients.
Here is what I got to work:

I set a keybinding to this bash script:

#! /bin/bash
xte 'mousemove 3 3'
sleep 1
xte 'mouseclick 3'

The "xte 'mousemove 3 3'"  puts the pointer in a space occupied by a
small conky window, which passes any click on to the root window.

The "sleep 1" gives me enough time to get my fingers off the keys
before the following "xte 'mouseclick 3'", which is a right click.
Otherwise the right click is modified by the key or keys still being
held down. I'd love to have a more elegant way to do this, both so
that I wouldn't have to remember to release the keys promptly, and so
the menu would pop up quicker, but so far that's the best I've come up
with.

The trickiest part was finding a keybinding that wouldn't be
intercepted by any application likely to have a focused window. Partly
for this reason, I hate programs having keybindings enabled by
default. Is there some way to to give Openbox priority, so that it
intercepts all keybound combinations and only passes them on to the
application with the focused window if the keybound combination isn't
specified in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, or maybe even better, doesn't
pass them on at all, or perhaps best of all, passes on only specified
keycodes to specified applications? Like for instance, specify in
rc.xml something like "If gedit has focus, pass on control-c and
control-v, but don't pass on anything I haven't explicitly told you
to."

One can always find some ridiculously complicated key combination that
none of your programs use, but I much prefer to have a small set of
higly mnemonic keybindings, rather than a huge number of arbitrary
ones. I'm not sure what the custom of this list in on
thread-topic-drift. If I should have posted these follow-ups as
seperate topics, please say so and I'll try to conform to native
customs as best as I understand it. Thanks.

Keyboard bindings or macros, are difficult things, especially when many
programs have there own, often weird, keybindings.

For consistency I tend to make all my global key bindings 'Meta'
shifted (The 'window key' on my keyboard).

My own notes on keyboard bindings are published in
   http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/anthony/info/X/event_handling.txt

And it also focuses on using "xte" (from the xautomation package) 
but to generate keyboard macros.

For example, I press Meta-F1 and my email address is typed in whatever
window the pointer is in, even input windows that does NOT accept
'paste' events normally!

I also had problems with having to release 'shifting' keys quickly
which is another reason why 'meta' is a good one as it is normally
completely ignored by many programs. (not Firefox!)

Look for the section "The Bigger Problem: Modifiers"

Basically...
  The "xdotool" has a --clearmodifiers option

This was added for this very reason!

WARNING: Watch out for "Recursive Macros"...  :-)


What we really need is a tool that can both wait for specific events
AND then send events.  EG: wait for keys to be released, and then
apply events or run a program.  But it seems such a tool is very
tricky to create, and only used by advanced X window users.

Subject: [openbox] Starting application on a certain desktop ...
Message-ID: <20140927070805.GC3828@solfire>

Hi,

I am using eight desktops with Openbox on Gentoo linux.

There are ways to start an application on a certain
desktop via configuration. Or in other words: It doesn't
matter where a choose -- for example -- firefox from 
the menu...its window will alway pop up on -- say --
desktop 4.

I am looking for something different. I want to choose the desktop
via -- for example -- tint2. Select "firefox" via menu/commandline
or what else and change to another desktop.
After firefox has collected all its bits and pieces it should appear
on that desktop from where I started firefox and where I am currently.

Is it possible via openbox? ...or maybe via a helper tool?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

If the thing you launch the app with supports the startup notification
protocol, that should "just work". To tell, see if it uses
libstartupnotification maybe.

Openbox pulls 
	libstartup-notification-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libstartup-notification-1.so.0 (0x00007f0bb20ca000)

. How can I tell openbox to do, what I want, if I use openboxs menus?

Best regards.

See the documentation for the execute action on the website. It has options
for that.

Sorry for the breakage, an upgrade to the OS changed apache and mediawiki
versions and broke some things. The site should all be working again now.
Please let me know if anything is till broken.

Thanks,
Dana
