Multiple key bindings, is it possible?

Hello!

I have configured kde to use the laptop multimedia buttons
on my machine.

I have them configured to operate amarok, previous, next,
stop,
play/pause etc, is is possible to have them also configured
to use
with xine at the same time.  I would like to be able to use
them with
xine while watching a movie and amarok while listening to my
music.

I have not found anything on this topic, thought maybe
someone on the
list would be able to tell me.

Thanks in advance.

I'd configure these hotkeys per application. Amarok can
configure global
hotkeys by itself and I hope, so can xine (don't know). The
application
grabs the hotkey when starting up, so the first one get's
it. I am doing
this with Amarok and Audacious so I can switch the
application and still
use the same hotkey.

Cheers,
Sascha

I think the proper way to bind those hotkeys, is to make
them emit the proper 
XF86 key symbols (or whatever they are called). I have the
following entries 
in my ~/.Xmodmap:

keycode 129 = XF86Music
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute

You can figure out the keycodes with "xev".
They work in various programs without any further
configuration.

Patrick.

Ok, I will try that.  That is probably the best way to
handle what I want.
