Re: inittab: More than 2 special key combinations?
Hello.
You could use 'loadkeys' only for binding predefined action to some key's
sequence,
but you cannot bind your own scripts to the keys.
I have got the old Debian Hammer (2.0 R3, kernel 2.0.34) and I red
somewhere that
a way to run users's script binded to some key's sequence is 'inittab'.
But this new kernel's feature is not well supported yet.
I don't know if the newer kernel 2.2.14 manages it at best, and I didn't
find out
further information about it.
I am sorry!
Maybe you could look for further information in the last kernel's
documentation
"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/*".
P.S.
I unsubscribed from the mailing-list, so if you wish, you could forward
this e-mail
for me to 'debian-user@lists.debian.org'
Bye bye.

Will `loadkeys' let me assign an arbitrary command to a key sequence?
I've looked at the Console HOWTO and the loadkeys man pages and it appears
that I can only do certain predefined things like switching consoles or
showing the registers.
Perhaps it will help if I get specific. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is set to
reboot the computer (as usual). Then I mapped the Alt-UpArrow to play
a CD in my CD-ROM drive so I can play a CD without logging in. I would
like to have Alt-DownArrow skip to the next track, but can't figure out
how to do it.
