Xhotkeys (by tokland)

Some desktop environments have their own hotkey launcher utilitity. This nice, but it has a serious problem: if you change the environment, you have to reconfigure all the hotkeys (disgusting!). It's better to have a utility that do this task separately.

The purpose of Xhotkeys is to provide this simple and easy configurable hotkey launcher for the X-Window System. It should work on all desktops (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, ...), and you can still use their own launchers. Xhotkeys has a graphical GTK configurator, although it's possible to manage the configuration file manually.

The source code and binary packages for Debian (so, works also for Ubuntu) are available.
