Openbox, start Programm with key[solved]

Hi @ all

I have a Problem with Openbox , I will start gmrun after pressing the F10 Key.

I have write in the rc.xml this keybinding,

<keybind>
  <action>
</keybind>

but when I press F10, nothing go on..

edit:
wtf.....

I can not write the action line, evry time after submit only <action> is there....

ok it looks like  action name="gmrun"

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

from comandline it works perfect.

The wired thing is: The Key eg W work not, I can change the key to any, works not, but when I display the contact list from gajim on the root window, i can hit any key ang gmrun is opend in the contact list...

here an screenshot

That is not gmrun, it is the internal searching box that almost every GTK-App has. Or at least that's what it looks like. Not like gmrun at all. Perhaps the keybinding still isn't working.

Re: Openbox, start Programm with key[solved]

I was trying to remember if there was another app like gmrun ....

He is getting gmrun with every keypress so I figured something was wrong with his rc.xml....

As there is only gmrun in there maybe try adding a keybind for say a term just to test out something else

I don't think there anythnig wrong with Openbox because if menu or rc.xml are at fault the just drop back to default ...

Something I'll bet thats real simple to fix . ....

Re: Openbox, start Programm with key[solved]

First, I agree with mucknert: that is not gmrun, it is a search field every gtk listview (or whatever it is called nowadays) provides by default.

Try the following to see if Openbox spits out any warnings:
Open a terminal emulator, execute `openbox --replace' in it and have a look at Openbox's output. It would also help if you could upload your rc.xml somewhere. There are also thousands of nopaste sites available where you could post your rc.xml if you don't have any webspace.

Re: Openbox, start Programm with key[solved]

@smoon he did have it ties to F10 .. but some apps use that ...I think he has it linked with W (ms key) now ... would be better to use a combo IMO
