[Question] How to bind a combination to a specific key code.

[misterhackerman]

I have tried what is written in the man page, the MACROS

[alt]
m = macro(135)

when i press alt+m it just types 135
i have also tried m = menu
it gives me this
keycode 147 (keysym 0x1008ff65, XF86MenuKB)' which doesn't have any effect. and not this: keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, Menu)` which have effect.

and thanks in advance

You are probably looking for `m = compose`. I do think it makes some sense to be able to emit arbitrary keycodes, but that is not possible currently (and thus not what `macro()` does). Use `keyd monitor` to see which keyd name corresponds to which physical key.

Exactly, thanks compose worked, but is there documentation for that?
