Configurable keybindings in nxagent Keybindings in the redistributed x2go version of nxagent can now be configured by the user. This is done via a configuration file. File location ------------- nxagent parses the first available configuration file and ignores all others. If nxagent is called without branding, it searches: - in the location given by the '-keystrokefile' command line parameter - in the location given by the NXAGENT_KEYSTROKEFILE environment variable - in ~/.nx/config/keystrokes.cfg - in /etc/nxagent/keystrokes.cfg If nxagent is called with X2Go branding (i.e., as x2goagent), it searches: - in the location given by the '-keystrokefile' command line parameter - in the location given by the NXAGENT_KEYSTROKEFILE environment variable - in ~/.x2go/config/keystrokes.cfg - in /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg If none of these files are accessible, the default configuration is used which is the same as the old, traditional nxagent keybindings. File format ----------- The configuration file is XML with the following format: Each 'action' defines an action to be executed when receiving that keystroke. A list of possible actions is given below. Some of those actions are only available with debug builds of nxagent. Keys are given as a combination of 'key' and (optionally) a number of modifiers. The key attribute is evaluated into a X11 key via the usual XStringToKeysym function. A list of possible keys can be found in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, the names are specified without the leading 'XK_'. Evaluation is case-sensitive, so, 'space' and 'Escape' will work while 'Space' and 'escape' won't. Modifiers are given as boolean attributes, possible modifiers are Mod1, Mod2, Mod3, Mod4, Control, Shift, Lock. Sensible combinations strongly depend on your keyboard configuration, but usually you will need Mod1 and Control. Boolean in this context means '0', 'false' and an unspecified attribute are false, anything else is considered true. Everything in this file is case-sensitive. Unknown lines are ignored. Keybindings are evaluated from top to bottom, so if a keybinding matches, other keybindings further down will be ignored. The contents of the file replaces the default keybindings, and only one file is read, no merging between different configuration files is done. This also means that an empty or invalid configuration file deactivates all keybindings. List of possible 'action' attributes: ------------------------------------- close_session This terminates the session. switch_all_screens minimize This will minimize the client window (even for fullscreen sessions.) left up right down resize This action switches between the auto-resize and viewport mode (static size). The default is auto-resize. In viewport mode one can use the 'viewport_move_up', 'viewport_move_down', 'viewport_move_left' and 'viewport_move_right' actions to move within the image. defer Works like 'ignore' to make some keys be ignored/defunct inside the session. ignore Makes it possible to add 'ignore', as in nothing happens when certain keys are pressed. fullscreen Switches the client window into or out of fullscreen mode. viewport_move_left Moves the image viewport to the left. viewport_move_up Moves the image viewport up. viewport_move_right Moves the image viewport to the right. viewport_move_down Moves the image viewport down. Only in builds with certain debugging options enabled, ignored otherwise: force_synchronization Forces the drawing of elements to be synchronized which can fix some visual bugs. debug_tree regions_on_screen test_input deactivate_input_devices_grab
