Description

sxhkd is an X daemon that reacts to input events by executing commands.

Its configuration file is a series of bindings that define the associations between the input events and the commands.

The format of the configuration file supports a simple notation for mapping multiple shortcuts to multiple commands in parallel.

Example Bindings

    mpc -q {prev,next}

@XF86LaunchA
    scrot -s -e 'image_viewer $f'
