[SOLVED]xbindkeys giving wrong mapping information
Hello,

I'm having a problem with xbindkeys giving the wrong mapping information, hence I can't get it work at all when trying new mappings from this machine.

From another computer, I have some definitions for xbindkeys (made with xbindkeys-config). These key codes work correctly on this computer I'm having difficulty with.

From the config file for example:

Code:
#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
#    m:0x1d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

will work and run the script I have made.

However, if you run

xbindkeys -k one gets this:

Code:
"NoCommand"
    m:0x201d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

Notice the to different m: values. The one obtained with xbindkeys -k is inaccurate and won't work. Hence, I can define no new keyboard commands.

In the working example above, if one comments out the m: line like this:

Code:
#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
#    m:0x1d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

It breaks and won't work. Commenting out the more human readable line like this:

Code:
#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
    m:0x1d + c:39
#    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

Allows it to work.

Sadly, nothing is reading correctly with xbindkeys -k

This is a toshiba satellite A505-S6965 laptop.

Is there any other way to more accurately obtain keyboard bindings?

Not sure to proceed from here.

Thanks,
Narnie

Figured out the problem.

For some reason, my keymap was set for Ireland instead of Generic 104. Don't ask me how.

After resetting to the correct one (and applying it to system), all is good and xbindkeys -k maps the correct keycodes. YEA!!!

vfs_catia

VFS_CATIA(8)						    System Administration tools 					      VFS_CATIA(8)

NAME

       vfs_catia - translate illegal characters in Catia filenames

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = catia

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The Catia CAD package commonly creates filenames that use characters that are illegal in CIFS filenames. The vfs_catia VFS module
       implements a character mapping so that these files can be shared with CIFS clients.

       This module is stackable.

       The parameter "catia:mappings" specifies the mapping on a per-character basis, see below.

OPTIONS

       catia:mappings = SERVER_HEX_CHAR:CLIENT_HEX_CHAR
	   SERVER_HEX_CHAR specifies a 0x prefixed hexedecimal character code that, when included in a Samba server-side filename, will be mapped
	   to CLIENT_HEX_CHAR for the CIFS client.

	   The same mapping occurs in the opposite direction. Multiple character mappings are separated by a comma.

EXAMPLES

       Map server-side quotation-marks (") to client-side diaeresis (") on filenames in the [CAD] share:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8

       Perform comprehensive mapping of common Catia filename characters:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6

       Server-side filename to be translated (Note that the path delimiter "/" is not used here):

       aa:a*a?a"a<a>a|a

       Resulting filename, as seen by the client:

       aya-:-axaca"a<<a>>a|a

CAVEATS

       Character mapping must work in BOTH directions (server -> client and client -> server) to get unique and existing file names!

       A NOT working example:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x3a:0x5f

       Here the colon ":" is mapped to the underscore "_".

       Assuming a server-side filename "a:should_work", which is translated to "a_should_work" for the client.

       BUT the reverse mapping from client "a_should_work" to server will result in "a:should:work" - something like "file not found" will be
       returned.
