i'm trying to use F1-F12 for shortcuts, but can't seem to figure out how they should be referred to in the config file.
i've tried
f1
F1
<f1>
<F1>
but to no avail. any pointers?
this example works
<Super>j,tilix,tilix,
this is what i'd prefer
f1,tilix,tilix,
Hello, on my Ubuntu 19.10, the right way is F1. However, the OS reserves some of the shortcuts (I remember I was not able to re-bind "Ctrl+p" or something similar, reserved for system printing).
Have you tried other F-keys other than F1? What system are you using? I am using symbol names from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
<Super>F4,notify-send "hello super+f4"
F4,notify-send "hello f4"
<Super><Ctrl>F1,notify-send "hello ctrl+super+f1"
F1,notify-send "hello f1"
# does not work, always runs Ubuntu action <Super>F1,notify-send "hello super+f1"
thanks for documenting that here. i can confirm that F1
etc works. indeed it seems that F1
has magical powers and can't be rebound. so i went for F2,tilix,tilix,
and now all is well.
Cool! :)
