I'm new to Puppy (tahr 6.0.2) and I have a problem in that 2 of my 3 shortcuts don't work at startup, I have to restart windows manager ??? - the one that works at startup is #3. Some sort of JWM bug?
<Key mask="C" key="grave">exec:/usr/bin/libreoffice4.3 --calc -o /root/my-documents/jrs.ods</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="apostrophe">exec:/bin/sh /root/cmc</Key>
<Key keycode="115">exec:xdotool mousemove --polar 0 0</Key>
Tahrpup keyboard shortcuts don't work at startup
Have you done Quickpet->Info->Tahrpup updates?
If not, do so.
Also, install any offered service packs.
Reboot after doing the updates.
May have to redo the keyboard shortcuts setup.
There was a bug the update should fix.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

So you did do all the Tahrpup updates and it still is not working?

Code: Select all
jwm -restart
As none of your shortcuts are standards, I assume that they are saved in your pupsave file, right? I also take from your description that #1 and #2 work after you restart JWM, right?
If so then something is fishy with the way keysyms (like 'apostrophe' and 'grave') are assigned to keycodes. Since #3 works for you and #3 is the one defined by keycodes, you should try keycodes for #1 and #2.
Open a console and type xev.
With the small window active type an apostrophe. You should see an output that looks like this:
Code: Select all
KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0xbd, subw 0x2c00002, time 23821408, (33,39), root:(434,577),
state 0x0, keycode 48 (keysym 0x27, apostrophe), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (27) "'"
XFilterEvent returns: False
Now change you shortcut to
Code: Select all
<Key mask="C" keycode="48">exec:/bin/sh /root/cmc</Key>
They're stored in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal, Pupsave happens automatically and regularly and I think at shutdown.
Thks for the restart, I will try using keycodes, should have thought of that.......
Even so, it's still a bug, and even though things that don't work bug me, it's only a once a week problem.
It's Saturday night here, so I may be away until Monday.
Thks again for the advice.
