It's working like a charm :)Sun, 10 Nov 2013 21:08:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2854/keybinding-for-the-both-shifts-keys/?comment=2862#comment-2862https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2854/keybinding-for-the-both-shifts-keys/?answer=2861#post-id-2861Yes. Add this to your configuration: bindcode Shift+50 exec program bindcode Shift+62 exec program The first line configures the binding `<Shift_R>+<Shift_L>` (pressing `<Shift_L>` while holding `<Shift_R>`). The second line is for `<Shift_L>+<Shift_R>`. So you could even start different programs depending on the order you press the shift keys. ---------- Keycodes depend on the hardware and the drivers used. The code above should work with most modern Linux distributions (using evdev drivers) and common keyboards (PC 104/105-key). If it does not work use xev to determine the keycodes of the Shift keys.Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:38:59 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2854/keybinding-for-the-both-shifts-keys/?answer=2861#post-id-2861
