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

You can use appropriate commands to inject fake keystrokes.
