Thanks John!

Your idea for a hot key is even better! How do I create one?
Say for <Ctrl><Alt>C

Code: Select all

<Key mask="CA" key="c">exec:[name of the program]</Key>
as before, sometimes the program's name is insufficient or has a space in the path so it's more reliable to do it

Code: Select all

exec:"[path of the program]"
add that to jwm-rc personal, which is in root/.jwm, and restart jwm.

see if it works by merely restarting jwm. if not you'll have to run fixmenus in a terminal.

(take out the [ and ] )

...

on my machines the path for pup-shots is /root/.Pup-Shots/.PupShots.

you want something that looks like

Code: Select all

<Key mask="CA" key="c">exec:/root/.Pup-Shots/.PupShots</Key>


(no space in the name so no quotation marks around the path needed.) if

/root/.Pup-Shots/.PupShots entered into a terminal launches pup-shots for you, then this would work as the shortcut key you want.

Hot key

Thanks John. That did it! I added "smaller" to the command but didn't know how to just restart the file so I simply rebooted puppy and it works great!

thanks again.

my name's not John, but you're welcome. i'm not familiar with/not sure what you were trying to accomplish with the "smaller" command, but for future reference,

menu > shutdown > restart jwm is a lot faster than rebooting.
