Post bbKeys
Quote:
BBKeys is a Blackbox for Windows hotkey plugin, ie. it lets you run commands based on certain keyboard combinations.
It reads the hotkeys from its own configuration file, bbkeys.rc (or bbkeysrc), located in the same folder as the plugin
or in the Blackbox directory (please note that the former location has precedence)



............................................................................................................

i guess this applies to all branches of blackbox.. but wouldnt it be great to put a feature to minimize all windows with one key click? like with normal windows you press WIN + M to minimize all., i know bb uses it to open the menu file quickly., but i change these keys to my liking.

KeyToGrab(M), WithModifier(Win), WithAction(Minimize)

thats good enough i guess, but its only 1 at a time.. cant someone tell me the bro@m if there is one to minimize all windows at once? im using XOBLite and with a smile i might add, thanks to the good and hard work of qwilk!

anyone know if there is a bro@m or can it be added?

thanks.

Post BBKeys BUtime and BCPU
Some questions:

It`s possible the use of BBKeys with BBAmp.exe?
I`ll try, and I get this: Bad Command!
What I did is this: KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Ctrl+Win), *(ExecCommand), DoThis(C:\Bluebox\BBAmp.exe -next)
The * up means I forget. I am at school writing this. And my comp is at home.

Buptime and Bcpu at start gives me this: Object performance was not found on the machine.

Post using variables in BBkeys.rc
I'm trying to setup a keyboard shortcut to open up the file explorer pointing at my desktop. This is what I tried:

Code:
KeyToGrab(D),      WithModifier(Win)      WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(explorer.exe %USERPROFILE%\Desktop)


but it seems that the environment variables aren't recognized. I also tried creating a batch file and running that, but then I have a dos window that shows up every time.

Does know how to do this? Is there some other syntax for referring to variables within a rc file?

always keep in mind, unless you are using another file manager, such as total commander or something, You don't need to add explorer.exe <path>
Just use the path location in an executed command and let windows launch the folder with it's default.

Post BBKeys
I am new and not too sure what I am doing.
I want to launch Firefox using Win+F
I have this in the bbKeys.rc

KeyToGrab(F), WithModifier(Win), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")

It's not working, any help would be appreciated.

Welcome tksu.
The config is right. It should work.
- are the others Win+ hotkeys working, like Win+D?
- make sure that that hotkey is not used twice.
- try with another key
- make sure the path is correct.

I still can't seem to get it working. Also when I change the other keys for the other commands, they don't seem to work. The old ones work.
Do I need to turn something on or off?
I am editing BBkeys in notepad.
