Hi,

Would it be possible to control the mouse using control keys from xmonad? I do imagine some functions a few keys could do that could make mouse control efficient, but I don't know if it's actually possible to do that (I understand nothing about X).

Thanks, Maurício

Depends on what you want to do. There's already some stuff dealing with mice in XmonadContrib, like Warp.hs or MouseGestures.hs. -- gwern OADR NSA PPP Security assasinate PARASAR nowhere Kiwi NRL RAID

I think you want Xkb, not xmonad. It's a server extension (very standard nowadays) that enables funny keyboard stuff; in a standard configuration, you can use Alt-Shift-NumLock and then the numpad. Stefan
