control xmms w/ special keyboard keys

Programming 
emerge xbindkeys
xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc
xbindkeys -mk

then press each key you'll use

copy, paste and modify that output into ~/.xbindkeysrc

then start it by just running xbindkeys (probably want to put it into your ~/.xinitrc)

mine has:



"xmmsctrl vol 0"

    m:0x10 + c:166

"xmmsctrl vol -5"

    m:0x10 + c:165

    Mod2 + NoSymbol

"xmmsctrl vol +5"

    m:0x10 + c:158

"sh -c 'if xmmsctrl playing; then xmmsctrl pause; else xmmsctrl play; fi'"

    m:0x10 + c:159

"xmmsctrl stop"

    m:0x10 + c:151

"xmmsctrl prev"

    m:0x10 + c:164

"xmmsctrl next"

    m:0x10 + c:162

Very cool.

I am going to start using my Linux box again and I will definately have to do something of that sort.
