I've have copied the skippyrc in my homefolder, and i edit the rc from F11 to F12...
So it will then not work with my LXDE. I'm not sure, what i've to change, to get it work...
Not enough information about it found in www

Working fine on my LXDE after editing the .skippyrc to use F12 instead of F11. That was the only change.



Look Mom, smaller image!  

LXDE also has a Run command, so skippy can be run without a terminal.

I'm now sadly... (maybe different between 32 64 bit)

Have you checked openSUSE, Mandriva, Mageia, Fedora, to see if any of them have a working 64 bit version?

OK, here is what I did. First install skippy from the repo. Then, download the source code from the developer website:

http://cdn.thegraveyard.org/releases/skippy/skippy-0.5.0.tar.bz2

extract it, and copy the file "skippyrc-default" to your home directory and rename it to ".skippyrc". Then open the file and edit the hotkey (seems that F11 which is the default can not be binded) to some other key like Scroll_Lock:

keysym = Scroll_Lock

save the file and you are done. Now open a terminal and run: skippy &

That's it. I did the above with the latest PCLOS LXDE and it works fine.

The default rc can you find under /usr/share/doc/skippy ...

If you use the Run command from the main menu, skippy will remain active until you log out. If you use a terminal window to start skippy, it will remain active only until you close the terminal window.

Installed the 32 bit on KDE installation, then added a launcher to my panel quicklaunch widget. Whichever desktop I'm on, clicking the launcher icon gets immediate results. 

Will try the 64 bit package when I next reboot.
