IceWM Control Panel: Keyboard
Screenshots   Help


The IceWMCP Keyboard tool, as of version 2.3, has been completely redesigned into a full-featured, all-in-one keyboard configuration tool, so users no longer have to jump from one application to another to configure their keyboard. IceWMCPKeyboard contains 4 high-quality tools:

     IceWMCP Keyboard Repetition - a tool for easily setting the keyboard repeat rate and delay. Basically, it is a frontend for 'xset', standard on most Unix/Linux systems.
     IceWMCP Keyboard Sounds - a tool for easily managing the keyboard's beep and key-click sounds. It is a frontend for 'xset', standard on most Unix/Linux systems.
     IceWMCP KeyEdit (formerly a stand-alone module named IceWMCPKeyEdit) - a tool for managing IceWM shortcut keys (stored in the "keys" file). With this tool, you make use of IceWM's useful shortcut functionality. For example, you can configure Gimp to be launched when you press Ctrl+Alt+G, or whatever combination of keys you choose.
     IceWM Keys - an embedded version of the IcePref2 'Key Bindings' module, for advanced configuration of additional IceWM shortcut keys.
