KeyTouch - The easy way to enable multimedia-keys!

This guide will explain the installation and configuration of the two basic KeyTouch tools.

* KeyTouch - The tool to setup a keyboard that is already in the database. Currently supported models are listed in a table at the bottom of this page.

* KeyTouch-Editor - The tool to setup a keyboard that is not yet in the database.

Installing KeyTouch

Open a terminal and enter these commands:

sudo apt-get install keytouch

Using KeyTouch

You should now be able to find KeyTouch under System > Administration.

On initial startup, you'll be asked for the model of your keyboard. Select from the list of supported models and click "OK". You'll then be taken to the Key settings tab where some keys will be filled in with default values. You can switch these around or enter custom program launchers or common actions (e.g. Copy, Paste, Redo, Close Window, etc). Extra plugins with actions for specific programs are available in the Preferences tab. In the Keyboard tab you can switch your selected keyboard (requires a program restart).

Using KeyTouch-Editor

You can find KeyTouch-Editor under System > Administration.

A guide will come later! - Just don't have the time right now! (And it should be pretty simple!)

Getting help anyway
