xbindkeys changelog by Philippe Brochard version: 1.8.3: Add a listen loop in the main loop. This fix a bug where, in the previous version, a keypress was needed to reload the configuration file after a keybinding change. Now one can edit the configuration file and keybindings are automatically updated after each save. Many thanks to Edwin Stang! 1.8.2: Correction of typos in the man page. An emphasis is made on the documentation about the guile configuration file (the prefered way for non trivial configuration). Many thanks to Brad Sawatzky. 1.8.1: Better Guile configuration with autotools. Minor compilation warning have been fixed. 1.8.0: Enable a full access to the xbindkeys internal from the guile scheme configuration file. A grabbed key can start a shell command or run a scheme function. This enable to do more powerfull things inside xbindkeys whitout the need of an external shell script (like double click, timed double click or keys combinations). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.7.4: xbindkeys.spec: Change Copyright to License. Little english correction in warnings. Configuration files are reloaded on the fly when they have changed so there is no more need to send a HUP signal to reload them (Many thanks to Shish). Use `scm_c_define_gsubr' instead of 'scm_make_gsubr' with the guile mode. 1.7.3: Bugfix under Solaris, XBindKeys built with -DFORK_FLAG=1 fails to wait for processes it spawns, leaving lots of defunct processes. Thanks to Ciaran Anscomb for the patch. 1.7.2: Changes to grab keys in all display screens and not only in the default root window (Xinerama suport). Bugfix for the Guile support in configure.ac. 1.7.1: Verbose mode is not started as daemon. Check rc file before starting as daemon (so warning about configuration files are visible). 1.7.0: Add guile/scheme configurtion file style (Many thanks to Marcello Mathias Herreshoff). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.6.5: Add a --disable-tk option to prevent xbindkeys_show install. So no tcl/tk dependency is needed. Add a NOTE in xbindkeys man page to say that xbindkeys can reread its config file with a -HUP signal (killall -HUP xbindkeys). Add two verbose test (forgotten in other version). 1.6.4: Add a --disable-fork option in configure.ac to start one command at a time (use system instead of fork+exec). Remove umask (022) in daemonize function which cause troubles. 1.6.3: Change to switch to autoconf2.5X and automake >= 1.6 Remove chdir ("/tmp") in daemonize function. 1.6.2: Remove AC_PROG_RANLIB and AC_PROG_MAKE_SET from configure.in to prevent rebuit of Makefile when doing a make. 1.6.1: Minor buggfix : use strtol instead atoi for use with hexadecimal number. Complete daemonzie function 1.6.0: Add: Release event for keys and buttons. Don't use threads any more (use fork+exec instead) Better daemonize function Simplification of configure.in (better test for X) Don't use sscanf any more --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.5.5: Change: better identification of modifiers with --key and --mulitkey options. 1.5.4: Change: add warning when a key is unknown in .xbindkeysrc. 1.5.3: Bugfix: if the keycode is unknow then xbindkeys don't asign a key with keycode=0. Change: The default RC file don't use the Menu key witch cause problems. 1.5.2: Change: if there's a conflict with keys then xbindkeys just make a warning and continue with other keys. 1.5.1: Add: a new interface for xbindkeys_show (use scrollbar). 1.5.0: Add: xbindkeys have now the ability to catch Mouse Button Events. so: "xterm" control + b:2 starts an xterm when mouse button 2 and control are pressed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.1: Solve some minor problems when compiling with gcc 3.0.4 under GNU/Linux. 1.4.0: Change: rename all code to make it uniform. Add: start as daemon by default, but can be changed with --nodaemon|-n option. Add: xbindkeys starts commands in threads, so they are not blocking it if we forget the & at the end of the command (this can be disabled with ./configure --disable-pthread) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.3.0: Change: Now, by default, xbindkeys does not pay attention with NumLock CapsLock and ScrollLock modifiers. Add: keystate_(numlock | capslock | scrolllock) options in the RC file : keystate_numlock = enable => Enable NumLock modifier keystate_capslock = enable => Enable CapsLock modifier keystate_scrolllock= enable => Enable ScollLock modifier --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2.2: Change: Reading the RC file is now made in a single pass (in old versions that needs two pass). So, the code is mush clearer. 1.2.1: Add: xbindkeys can now reread its configuration file with the HUP signal. usage : killall -HUP xbindkeys. Change: Documentation a little bit more clearly. 1.2.0: Change: grab code like in 1.0.x version but same options. Change: options --key/-multikey open a window to avoid problems with icewm (based on xev) Add: --geometry|-g to set the size of the window with --key/--multikey Add: advertises when xbindkeys can't grab key because its keycode is not in min_keycode < keycode < max_keycode. => say to change maximum value in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1.2: Add: --multikey|-mk option -> identify multi key in infinite loop 1.1.1: Change: --key|-k option to identify only one key. 1.1.0: Add: Grab keys with KeySym or with KeyCode like in xev. (in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc: c:nnn set keycode to nnn m:nnn set modifier to nnn) Add: --key|-k option -> identify key pressed (useful to fill $HOME/.xbindkeysrc). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0.1: Change in Makefile.am for Solaris compatibility. thanks Peter. 1.0.0: Final version! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0.0b: Beta Final version. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.2.1: Read RC file. 0.2.0: Read command line options. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.1.0: Make struct of xbindkeys : key, modifier, command. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.0.4: Minimal version is working. 0.0.3: "Clean" compilation methode (automake/autoconf). 0.0.2: remote all comment in minimal version of imwheel -> xbindkeys. 0.0.1: comment imwheel code to only grab keys.
