xbindkeys and xbindkeys_config

xbindkeys is a program to allow you to bind keyboard/mouse combinations to commands. It is especially useful for binding keys to those useless multimedia keys (i.e. the ones on my laptop).  At http://www.netchampagne.com/xbindkeys_c … _help.html there are some useful key combinations to look at.  xbindkeys_config is a gui for xbindkeys.

edit: xbindkeys has no dependencies except X (i think), xbindkeys_show (included in the xbindkeys package) depends on tk and xbindkeys_config depends on gtk.
