I've got a Microsoft Natural Pro with "internet keys" (back, foward, stop, refresh, plus all the multimedia stuff and whatnot). I wrote an xkeycaps keyboard definition for this keyboard, which makes it very easy to assign keysyms to those keys. Then it becomes a question of configuring individual apps to do something useful with those keys. I find it useful to hit the 'Sleep' button on my keyboard and have it activate xlock, for example. If you want my xkeycaps patch, it is at http://locust.lcs.mit.edu/~noahm/xkeycaps/ noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
