Keybinding Superuser

addr · 2010-01-19 00:00:36

I get an error message (Openbox) if I try this in rc.xml....

<keybind key="A-F5">
<action name="execute"><execute>gksu thunar</execute></action>
</keybind>

I have this Superuser in my menu OK but I can't keybind it.

Is it because of the space between gksu and thunar?

I recommend you to use obkey. It's very easy to use and more powerful that edit manually the .xml file.

$ sudo yaourt -S obkey-git

Does it make a difference if you try gksudo instead of gksu?

I haven't tried gksudo but the thing is <gksu thunar> works fine in the menu but I can't get the keybind to work.

The error it gives refers to the line number after the last one in my rc.xml and says something about an incomplete tag at that line number. I haven't been within 300 lines of that number.
I placed 5 or 6 other keybindings using copy & paste and they are all fine. The only difference in syntax is the space between gksu and thunar as far as I can see.

It wasn't the space but the case!

This works...

<keybind key="A-F5">
<action name="execute"><execute>gksu Thunar</execute></action>
</keybind>

Don't forget to add the SOLVED tag in the title.
