Logitech N395 numeric keypad for Linux

2019-12-31 22:15:31, In: Hack, Linux

#Logitech N395 numeric keypad for Linux
# For =, ( and ) keys, version which does "Alt" combos.
#USAGE: Write this to a text file, run at start: 
#          xbindkeys -f /path/to/file
#
# WARNING: THIS WILL UNFORTUNATELY NOT WORK IN MANY TERMINALS.
#    due to Alt being used...
#
# Some definitions from: 
# http://users.skynet.be/linux-rixensart/3_peripheriques.html#keypad

#Keypad (
"sleep 0.04 && xdotool type "(""
m:0x18 + c:90

#Keypad )
"sleep 0.04 && xdotool type ")""
m:0x18 + c:87

#Keypad =
"sleep 0.1 && xdotool key BackSpace && sleep 0.04 && xdotool type "=""
m:0x18 + c:85

#Some other things in N305:
# - The "Excel" key runs Win+R then blindly types "excel" and presses 
#   Return. This seems not to be changeable in hardware. Symlink 
#   LibreOffice/OpenOffice/Gnumeric to "excel" and it may run in X.
# - The calculator launches XF86Calculator key.
# - The "Window" key fires single Alt-Tab.
#
# Good Luck as this is really poorly configurable. MCbx
