Paddy_NII wonder why the "window controls" applet has not been integrated into Mutiny12:08
Paddy_NII wish I had the skills to do this12:08
Paddy_NIIt probably should be turned into an indicator applet12:08
Paddy_NIMaximus should also be apart of mutiny but only if the window controls are present12:09

sixwheeledbeastxmodmap?12:36
deskwizardsixwheeledbeast: will look into it, ty12:37
Jack_SparrowWhy not explain what you are trying to accomplixh12:37
sixwheeledbeast!xy12:37
ubottuThe XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned.12:37
deskwizardI need to find out what keycode the keyboard sends on the sleep key so I can send it with another device, so I need to know what keycode to put in there12:38
Jack_Sparrowsixwheeledbeast, good one12:41
sixwheeledbeastpipe xmodmap -pk into a document that should give you the code, or maybe pipe grep "Sleep"12:42
Jack_SparrowThe old days of Peek (blah) Poke (Blah)12:43

deskwizardthanks anyway, have a nice day! :)12:48
