GNOME Do in openbox - working keybinding without tomboy
i am running ubuntu feisty with openbox as my window manager/desktop environment. i don't use any panels, but i use gnome-settings-
i ran into a problem with the keyboard shortcut used to bring up GNOME Do (after it's running of course) not working at all. in the feisty repos the version of tomboy (libtomboy) is too old to be useful for the GNOME Do keyboard shortcut. with the following modification to your /home/username/
simply open your rc.xml in your favorite text editor and look for the keyboard section. i added the following lines BEFORE the "</keyboard>" line. there should also be a line designating the start of keybindings for running applications.
<keybind key="A-space">
<action name="Execute">
</action>
</keybind>
i would highly recommend reading the openbox manual regarding keybindings (so that you better understand what's going on up there) here: http://
that long execute command helps bring up the GNOME Do window quickly.
