keyboard shortcuts on fluxbox don't work

[finferflu]

Hi,
I was trying to start knoppix 4.0 live cd on an old machine which hasn't even got a mouse. I thought that fluxbox would have been the best option for using just the keyboard.

Looking on the web I found out how to modify the shortcuts. The fundamental program I need to run is the konsole, so in /home/knoppix/.fluxbox/keys I wrote:


Mod1 x :ExecCommand konsole

but when I pressed ALT+x nothing happened.

So I also tried


Mod1 x :konsole

with the same result.

I also tried with the various F (for example F12), since they work with this command:


Mod1 F2 :Workspace2

for example. But when I tried to make them work with my command, I had no results.

I think the problem is me, but I can't find out how to solve it.

thanks for your help.

Ah, I think I got it. I just remembered that I edited the keys file being root. I guess this was the problem. I still have to find out wheter I am right, but I assume I am.

Try to edit the '~/.fluxbox/init' file as follow:
session.keyFile: /home/me/.fluxbox/keys

I guess I will need to restart the session afterwards, am I right?
