Keyboard shortcut

[isebarn]

I want to make a keyboard shortcut, fx Fn+Ctrl+z that would bring up Matlab so I can directly type into Matlab (Matlab already running ofcourse)

So if I wanted to calculate 2+2, I would press Fz+ctrl+z 2+2 enter

You can probably focus the matlab window with the following command:

Code: Select all

wmctrl -a Matlab

At least that works for me with firefox. To bind it to a keyboard shortcut, go to menu -> keyboard -> shortcut. Then add a shortcut for the above command. Tell me if it works.

It worked in the terminal
However for some reason I cant make the keyboard shortcut, not for anything, so as soon as I fugure out how to make shortcuts Im sure it'll work

no idea why I cant create keyboard shortcuts

thanks for your help

I got it to work

instead of using gconf-editor I found that in Mint I have Menu- preferences - keyboard shortcuts

That's what I actually meant, don't know about the menu differences between all mint DE's, can be quite confusing at times. Glad you got it working.
