I tried doing the same using xdotool by binding Ctrl+F<something> to PageDown but for some reason it didn't work for some reason and I didn't investigate enough.
- addcninblue 6y agoI believe a possible reason is that the OP used xkb, which if I'm not mistaken is lower level than xdotool (so xdotool would not suffice)
- ceda_ei 6y agoI am the OP. What I tried was something along these lines. e.g. to get w in normal mode to send Ctrl+right, I did the following. 1. Bind w to F14 in normal mode. 2. In i3 config, add `bindsym 0xffcb exec xdotool key ctrl+Right` If I simply ran the command (`xdotool key ctrl+Right`) in normal mode, it would work but it didn't work via a binding. This was infact the initial idea behind all this but after quite some testing xdotool turned out to be unreliable so I repurposed it as a shortcut layer.
