Hey all. I am just getting into the HotKeys business (~/.fluxbox/keys), and I can't get some stuff to work. I want keys for raggle and links2, but I can't get the thing to work. File contains:

Mod1 r :ExecCommand raggle
Mod1 l :ExecCommand links2
Mod1 t :ExecCommand xterm
Mod1 f: ExecCommand firefox

The file has other stuff too, but I spare you... So, the xterm and firefox commands work fine. Why do the others not? I have tried other modifiers, but no luck. What is appropriate command for this scenario? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello envytea

Both raggle and links2 need to be run via a terminal such as xterm, so it should read something like this:

Mod1 r :ExecCommand xterm -e raggle
Mod1 l :ExecCommand xterm -e links2

You can run links2 graphically, like this

Mod1 l :ExecCommand links2 -g
