use special keys for macro execution
Submitted by bjoern_jedit on Monday, 6 September, 2004 - 14:00
Hi, it might sound a little crazy (although I have
serious applications in mind) but I need to
get jedit to make a backslash when typing
the following two keys at the same time:

Left-Windows-special-key german-umlaut

I managed to get a backslash when typing

A+n for example. However the windows special
key seems not do work for that nor do the
german special keys.

I would really appreciate any suggestions !

I found a VERY dirty solution myself

Hi ! Everyone with serious java and jedit knowledge
would probably kill my for that solution and deny it
is a solution:

Under linx use xmodmap to map the windows key to a
key jedit know, e.g. f10. Then everything works fine
(f10 is way up on the keyboard, so it takes a lot of
time to get your fingers up there, that's why I normaly
don't use it).
