SXHKD
SXHKD – short for Simple X hotkey daemon – is a program to set hotkeys.
Setup
On most Linux distributions SXHKD can be installed with the sxhkd
package.
Alternatively it can be installed via GitHub.
Usage
Setting a Hotkey
Configuration for setting hotkeys is done in the file ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc.
A hotkey corresponds to typically two, sometimes more lines within this configuration file.
The first line describes the keys that act as hotkeys and the second line describes the commands
that are run on pressing the hotkey.
There are simple hotkeys using only one key (in this case the Launch Button).
XF86LaunchB
xdotool selectwindow | xsel -bi
And some commands use modifier keys or multiple keys.
super + shift + equal
sxiv -rt "$HOME/image"
When using similar commands it can be useful to map multiple hotkeys in one entry.
super + {_,shift + }{h,j,k,l}
bspc node -{f,s} {west,south,north,east}
Reload Hotkey Daemon
To reload the configuration file SXHKD needs to be restartet It can be useful to set this on a hotkey.
super + shift + x
pkill -usr1 -x sxhkd
