Re: EvilWM key combo

Hello, again. I've settled for EvilWM, in case anyone read my previous
post about how no minimalistic window manager does it for me. This does.
It's not tiling, but hey, I suppose that's just as good since most other
tiling window managers work shitty in i.e. The Gimp.

The problem now is that EvilWM uses Ctrl+Alt+= (the equal sign) to
toggle maximization of windows. On this Swedish keyboard you press
Shift+0 to get '='. This would mean I'd have to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+0
to toggle maximization, a key combination which doesn't even seem to
work, probably because of some non-EvilWM issue. Does anyone know what
the issue is, or does anyone have any idea if it's possible to configure
xbindkeys to toggle maximization of windows? I reckon it's hard to make
the window manager do stuff it's not really supposed to, outside of the
window manager.

hmmm....
Does your wm still use/require the X Server ?
If so, I wonder if customizing X (some combination of 'xinit',
'xinitrc', and XKEYBOARD options such as '-xkbdb filename' and/or
'-xkbmap filename') might not be the best way to handle this? (using a
keyboard map file or something) - and you may get more precise help
over in the 'comp.os.linux.x' group.

If relevant, see;
man xserver
man xinit

Perhaps posting your distribution info may help too...

I am unfamiliar with your 'other' thread or posts concerning minimalist
wms.
