Dear list,

I want to use some key combination with some of my desktop applications but it seems those keys are reserved by the WM.
Like Alt+plus, Alt+underscore, Alt+F1, Alt+F12, Alt+uparrow etc.. are not available. how can get back these combination from icewm ?

Thanks

IIRC there's a window option to make an application takes precedence
over IceWM. But I'm not sure.

Bye, Jörg.

Hello J__rg,

Thanks for your attention. I have found the system generated  keyname
with xev command. With that key combination everything is running well.
You can find it in my latest tutorial at
http://jbakshi.50webs.com/Linux_tutorial/mrxvt/mrxvt.html

wish you a nice time.

Another way might be to make a backup copy of "~/.icewm/preferences". Then make changes to the key combinations that effect your application.

After you are done make changes either restart icewm or exit and come back in. You might find that this works just fine for what you are trying to do. I have made changes in this file and it works for me.

I hope this helps you!
