Configurable keybindings in nxagent
Keybindings in the redistributed x2go version of nxagent can 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 X2GO_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:
<!DOCTYPE NXKeystroke>
<keystrokes>
<keystroke action="fullscreen" AltMeta="1" Control="1" key="b" />
<keystroke action="minimize" AltMeta="1" Control="1" key="space" />
<keystroke action="minimize" key="Escape" Shift="1" />
<keystroke action="close_session" key="F7" />
<keystroke action="fullscreen" key="F7" Mod1="1" />
<keystroke action="fullscreen" key="F6" Mod1="1" />
<keystroke action="force_synchronization" key="f" />
<keystroke action="fullscreen" key="space" Mod1="0" Mod2="0" Control="0" Shift="0" AltMeta="0" />
</keystrokes>
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, Mod5, 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
(accompanied by a warning in the session log). 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.
If an attribute occurs more than once in a line the last one wins.
Some of the actions can open a dialog window. Depending on the user's
answer the selected action will be taken. Some actions will only show
a dialog informing the user about the taken action. All these dialogs
will only work if the nxagent/x2goagent process has a properly
configured NX_CLIENT environment variable pointing to an executable
(like nxdialog) that is responsible for showing the dialogs and taking
the action(s). If that executable cannot be run no dialog will show up
and no action will be taken.
List of possible 'action' attributes:
-------------------------------------
close_session
This terminates the session. If a proper dialog helper is available
ask the user if he wants to disconnect
or terminate the session and then perform the selected
action. Without proper helper it will do nothing (except writing an
error the session log)
fullscreen
Switches the client window into or out of fullscreen mode, using
only the current head.
switch_all_screens
Switches the client window into or out of fullscreen mode, using all
available heads.
minimize
This will minimize the client window (even for fullscreen sessions).
resize
This action switches between the auto-resize (default) and viewport
mode. In viewport mode the xserver screen size stays static even
if the nxagent window is resized. You will possibly only see a part of
the screen and can scroll around using the following actions:
viewport_move_left/up/right/down
Moves the viewport left/up/right/down by the width resp. height of
the visible area.
viewport_scroll_left/up/right/down
Scrolls the viewport left/up/right/down with increasing speed
(maximum step size is 200px).
defer
Activates/deactivates deferred screen updates. With a proper
dialog helper (see above) it will open a dialog informing the user
about the action taken.
ignore
Ignores the following keystroke, nothing will happen when this
keystroke is pressed. The keystroke will NOT be passed to the
clients. If you want the clients to see the keystroke you need to
eliminate the line from the config file instead of using 'ignore'.
reread_keystrokes
Forces nxagent to re-read the keystroke configuration. Useful to
add/change keystrokes to a running session.
force_synchronization
Forces immediate drawing of elements to be synchronized which can
fix some visual bugs.
