[Fluxbox-users] Concerning fluxbox keybindings

[lego space]

I have a question:

If I put the following line to the ~/.fluxbox/keys file,

Mod4 f :Exec firefox

when I press "Mod4"+"f", firefox is executed. But I have to press the two
keys ("Mod4" and "f") at the same time.
Is there any way to execute firefox by pressing "Mod4", and then "f"
(without pressing them at the sam time)?

Any help would be appreciated.

What you are trying to achieve sounds a bit like "chaining" in
man fluxbox-keys

But I'm afraid that only works with sequences of modifier-key pairs,
not with press modifier, then key

I just tested a few different things and it does work using the "None"
modifier:
None F1 None F2 :ExecCommand xcalc

Additionally, using the key, not the modifier seems to work too
although it appears to loose it's mod powers when you do:
None Super_L None F1 :ExecCommand xcalc

Though that might have just been with my config, YMMV.

Interesting - hadn't thought of that option.

I just tried
None Mod1 None f :ExecCommand xclock

and it doesn't seem to work for me if there's a "break" of more than a
few hundredth of a second (in other words, a Mod1+f gives me xclock
in a repeatable manner, a 1/2 second break between Mod1 and f doesn't).

Wonder whether the time-span is a configurable setting - can't see anything
related to it in man fluxbox or man fluxbox-keys ;}

In fact I already tried the option of
None Mod4 None f :Exec firefox
but it didn't work, so I posted here.
Any other suggestions?
