Thank you, Matan. Wil delete the related key binding and reassign jump to desktop to "d".

Anyhow, how about binding "backspace" to closing the most recent/last used window in dashboard? Is this possible?

I assume that by dashboard you mean the task switcher.

It is possible to do:

backspace in task switcher sends parameter 67336 to keyboard-shortcut.

Closing the most recent used application can be done with the command:

dbus-send --type=signal --session /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.close_window_time int32:-1

Okay. I tried this:

if key == '67336':
os.system("dbus-send --type=signal --session /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.close_window_time int32:-1")

It did not work. I replaced '67336' with "bksp/backspace" and finally with '@' (through fn-space, longpressing does not seem to work in task manager) and it works fine, so no problems with the script, only the key. I wonder why.

I want to try to bind "kp_return/enter" for something as well, not sure if it would work, now that backspace fails.

kn is the integer value that should be compared to 67336.

It is actually 65288 (backspace value) + 2048 (flag for key in task navigator).

key is cooked value after removing flags and has different meanings in different places in the program.

where i would to find rescue-boot and wget? thanks...

wget is in extras repository and rescue-boot is in extras-devel, as well as in my repository.

Hi Matan

Thank you for this great application.
I was really missing the navigator tab function as known in KDE and Windows (option 5 in /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav).
Would there be a way to have option 1 and 5 working at the same time? I miss them both.
- Task switching could be as used with ctrl-backspace
- Backspace only would switch in the oposite direction (or shift-backspace)
- Ctrl-Return would go to home screen (replaces option 1)

Would that be possible?
I saw that your keyboard-shortcuts package works with H in the navigator, but ctrl-return would be much faster.

Also, a GUI for the configuration would be very nice.
In some weeks I will have more time, I might be able to help you to create one.

I am using ctrl-fn-h for going to home screen. Currently ctrl-enter is not caught by modified-hildon-desktop. You could usr ctrl-space, ctrl-dot, ctrl-comma which are caught, or use a three keys combination (it is not hard to press ctrl+fn with one thumb.

Once you are in the task navigator (or launcher, for that matter) you can select any window directly with q w e ..., so I don't see any reason to add keys to ctrl-backspace. Still, if if you have a well specified key action (I do not really understand your suggestion with backspace),
I'll look into implementing it as an option.

A gui might be nice, but I am not the one to write it.

Any updates to modified-hildon-desktop to PR1.3? Creating a patch from your source package against the original (PR1.2?) source and then applying it to the PR1.3-provided source works fine.

Here's a very simple patch on top of Modified Hildon Desktop that makes "x" run xterm on the Desktop:

modified_hildon_desktop_x4xterm.patch

As long as you don't have any contacts named Xaver or Xiomara, this makes it easier to open a xterm without having to stretch your fingers for Ctrl+Shift+X
