Topic: System wide search and a control panel
Maybe this is basic for everyone else but I had to look around for it:
You can search your whole system with alt+f3 gnome-search-tool which is nice but it is so easy to add a keyboard binding...
<keybind key="W-s">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Search</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>gnome-search-tool</command>
</action>
</keybind>Now Super+S will get you the search gui.
Most of the xfce settings app is deep linked in the default menu the on exception is the keyboard setup, had I know this was on the system I might have saved a lot of time fooling around w/ xmodmap.
so alt+f3 xfce-setting-show will get you there or in menu.xml:
<item label="Control Panel">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xfce-setting-show
</execute>
</action>
</item> If you just want to add a menu item for the keyboard you can do:
<item label="Keyboard">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xfce-setting-show keyboard
</execute>
</action>
</item> Hope that helps someone.
update
I now use catfish instead of gnome-search. To use catfish:
sudo apt-get install catfish<keybind key="W-s">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Search</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>catfish --fileman=thunar --path=/</command>
</action>
</keybind>Last edited by fhsm (2009-06-11 01:51:25)
