Fluxbox Keys

~/.fluxbox/keys allows for quick and easy keybindings in the fluxbox windows manager. It’s pretty trivial to modify, but I think this is a pretty good example of what you can do. I’ve actually forgone the fluxbox menu and use keybindings to get around exclusively. It speeds things up considerably! This way, you can be just about as efficient in fluxbox as in a tiling wm like awesome without breaking software that makes assumptions about how your wm works.

Important keybindings

  • mod4 + [1 .. 0] switch to workspaces
  • mod4 + [f1 .. f10] move window in focus to workspace
  • mod4 + m maximize
  • mod4 + c MoveTo 20 20 move window 20 pixels down/right. Used to center urxvt (see below)
  • ctrl + esc run htop in urxvt
  • mod4 + r run yarpt. yarpt is a very simple gtk launcher I wrote. You can find it on github and the arch linux AUR. Replace it with your favorite.
  • mod4 + o reload fluxbox configs, including fluxbox keys
  • mod4 + t urxvt terminal
  • mod4 + ~ toggle stjerm, a quakelike terminal. stjerm must be running already
  • mod4 + / pcmanfm, a file manager
  • mod4 + b luakit, a web browser
  • mod4 + f make window in focus fullscreen
  • mod4 + q quit fluxbox
  • printscreen store a screenshot in ~/docs/imgs/

This is pretty handy, since I am going to try and create my own style today. I am going to try to mimic my xmonad keybindings though, where ever possible. Thanks for sharing.
