goxhkd

A simple X11 hotkey daemon using xgbutil.

The config file is a shell script. It should contain a shebang and be executable. It's executed by the goxhkd daemon on start after a small delay. The following paths are checked:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goxhkd/goxhkdrc (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set, it falls back to $HOME/.config)
• $HOME/.goxhkdrc
• /etc/goxhkd/goxhkdrc

Building

• make build will build and place the binaries into the project root.
• make install will install them to $GOPATH/bin.

Example config

#!/bin/sh
goxhkc -clearall

for i in $(seq 9); do
      goxhkc -button Mod4-$i bspc desktop -f "^$i"

done
