Just run "xev" and press the buttons on the keyboard. Note the "keycode"
each key generates. Then, you can map the keycode to a name with:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 111 = osfSelect'
I just chose osfSelect from many keynames in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.
You can then bind osfSelect to whatever you want to, with your favourite
window manager/application. For instance, you could bind the keycode of the
URL key to "apRead", and then in window maker, bind "apRead" to "urlview
%s"[0], where %s is the text selection. So, you would then have your URL key
bound to "view URL", effectively.
Is there a standard X command, that when called would print the current
selected text ? Could be handy in sawmill, which doesn't have a %s type
thing.
