Introduction

KMilo is a KDE plugin providing binding for some special Thinkpad keys. It is a KDE port of tpb.

Installing KMilo

Gentoo

KMilo is available in Portage.

emerge kmilo -av

Debian

apt-get install kmilo

You will probably have to edit /etc/udev/permissions.rules and replace the line

KERNEL=="nvram", GROUP="nvram"

with

KERNEL=="nvram", MODE="0666", GROUP="nvram"

This will make the nvram module writable for everyone so that your settings will remain when you reboot.

Usage

After installing an entry called "IBM Thinkpad Laptop" will appear in your KDE Control Center under "System Administration". This lets you choose the program to execute for each event.

You can use appropriate commands to inject fake keystrokes.
