86key keyboard setup

Basic Help & Support
1

Hi,
I have an Asus gw502gx laptop with 86key keyboard - with Hungarian layout.
I can choose 86keybord, but unfortunetely, there are some keyboards which are have different functions. For example F1, and F2.

How is it possible to change?

I have read through I cant set the keyboard layouts of my choice topic too.

Thank you
Best reagrds

Hi @horvjoe,
No idea about keyboard layout but…
In the latest ISO images F1 F2 F3 are binded by default to:
F1 - firefox
F2 - file manager
F3 - editor geany
If you don’t like those, you may just remove them from ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

If you like to change key bindings, take a look at the documentation: Help:Bindings - Openbox

Ohh - thats the keys what I would like to change.
I would like to use in Doublecommander the F2 to rename and F3 to view a txt.
Thats all.

Yup, those default bindings collide with those actions. I think I will change them in next ISOs to super + F(1,2,3). Like:

<keybind key="W-F1">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>jumpapp firefox</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-F2">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>jumpapp -t doublecmd doublecmd</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-F3">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>jumpapp geany</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

I got my old Mabox - copied the xml. Made a copy from the new Maboxˇs bindings (xml) file and put the old rc.xml into:

~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

And evrything is working like chram. :slight_smile:
Thank you for your help :slight_smile:
