Not it's not (over your head).. :-) $ bind '"\C-t": "Hello world"' Then when you type Ctrl-T you get: $ Hello World Hence: $ bind '"\C-t": "xterm^M"' .. and press Ctrl-T you start a new xterm - try it. Notes: 1. to enter the ^M in the above bind command, you need to type CTRL-V and then hit the Enter key. 2. once you get add a binding to work you may want to add it to ~/.xinitrc 3. it may be more user-friendly to use your window manager or desktop's capabilities to create such custom bindings. cj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
