Greg,
I didn't know about xbindkeys. I'm new with suckless tools, I'm working on
my dwm setup (st and dmenu too) and I didn't know the best way to do it.
Considering the suckless philosophy, is the way you tell me better than a
dwm patch? Or would you say it's just a different way of making it work?
Because I still haven't solved it for the volume control keys.
Thanks for comment!
Gonzalo
