How can I assign a command to a key?

  • 772

I want to assign a special command to be executed when I press the F15 keyboard on a MAC keyboard under Ubuntu. This is the key on top of the PgUp key on the aluminium keyboard for Macs. I use that keyboard with Linux and I love it. In this case, I would like the F15 key to suspend the PC. The command for this is:

pmi action suspend
power-management shortcut-keys apple

  1. Goto Keyboard

    Select Shorcuts > Custom shortcuts

    Select the Plus button

    Name your shortcut and type the command and apply

    It will appear in the custom shortcut section click on the item on top of the disabled text Then it will change to New shortcut Press F15 You will get the new shortcut :)
