Flux Keys

I've been using Fluxbox for a while now. That doesn't mean ai know anything about it. :) Just like with Linux I'm no power user. Whenever I find I need to do something that requires a script or some configuring etc then I dig in and figure out how it's done. I'm actually not a very intense user. I code Java apps in VIM and only use a few bash aliases to make this easier. When I'm making music Reaper does fine without any special OS tweaking etc.

A few weeks ago I inadvertently hit some Windows hotkey. Everything vanished. I figured I accidentally moved to another vdesktop. I launched some new windows and continued to do my thing. When I was done I rebooted to be sure everything was cleared up.

Earlier today I did a similar thing (Thanks to spending all day at work on a Doh's machine). This time I had a video playing. It continued playing from wherever it vanished to. That was a problem. Again I tried different hotkeys but no success. I rebooted and decided it was time to become familiar with my fluxbox keys file. It turns out I had been switching workspaces. I did some tweaking, moving windows to the top Dock via hotkey etc. And I went over the other keys defined in there. Cool! Window tabbing is cool. I like all the different organization tools in Fluxbox. Vdesks, Workspaces, window tabs, window rollups, etc.

I think I may have to put some effort into becoming more of a Fluxbox power user!
