Fluxbox keys stopped working > Post > Jun 23, 2009 04 p.m.
I was mucking around trying to hide some files in vim's netrw, and all of a sudden fluxbox did some wierd blinky thing, and I had to reset my machine. None of the menus would work, I couldn't switch workspaces, nothing.
Resetting brought me back into fluxbox, but my theme had been reset to the default, which was wierd. So I set it back to the one I downloaded and started to go back to work...but...now none of my hotkeys were working. I jumped on #fluxbox and didn't get anything useful so I did a little digging around and found this post on linuxquestions.org. Turns out the session.keyFile setting in ~/.fluxbox/init was set back to the default which is /etc/X11/fluxbox/keys on my machine. So I put it back to my user file:
" ~/.fluxbox/init session.keyFile: ~/.fluxbox/keys
After a quick restart, everything is back to normal again...oh, except I have to set up more workspaces, I lost 3 of them. Hmmm, wish I could figure out what the hiccup was.
Maybe next time.
Af out.
