on fluxbox, you'll want to edit the keys file. there is an entry in the fluxbox right-click menu, or directly in $HOME/.fluxbox/keys

Modify the keys file in your Fluxbox directory.

I guess that particular key is the 'menu' key.
So the entry in your keys file could look like:

Code: Select all

### Keybind to Rofi #######
none Menu 	:Exec rofi -modi "run,window,drun" -show drun 

Change the Exec command line to your own preferences
Save keys file and restart fluxbox

Than you guys, I was looking many videos, from other distributions, these were sent me to another location as xmodmap with complicated methods.

I got really surprised to find an easier solution into the path you pointed .fluxbox/keys, at that point I felt at home, even you didn't specify what to change.
It took me a little time to realize where to change the mark down, but harder to find the key name.

Today, I read ceeslans' specific answer. That match the solution I found, but with different code, is there any tag I missed. What's the difference ?

Code: Select all

none Menu 	:Exec rofi -modi "run,window,drun" -show drun 

Want to move roffi to the Menu key

1. Go to your Home folder
2. Press Control + h to see hidden files, those files begin by dot .
3. Open the folder .fluxbox
4. Open the file named keys with the MX provided editor called Featherpad.
5. In featherpad <menu option> activate line numbers.
6. Go to the line 29-30
Line 29 #add a comment that the previous tag used by default was Super_L
Line 30 Type Menu instead of Super_L
7. Save the file .fluxbox/keys
8. Reflux the box. Right button over desktop > Fluxbox > Appearance > Toolbar> switch to traditional or fluxbox.



SOLUTION
.fluxbox/keys

Code: Select all

 
29   # use logo key for rofi  << add this comment>> << default Super_L >>
30   Menu :Exec rofi -show drun

Thanks for sharing.
