Title: Bind key to suspend
Post by: clafou34 on February 08, 2015, 07:44:16 AM

Hello,

  I want to bind a key (or joystick button) to launch a command line (for put computer in suspend mode). But, i not found any solution.

  In UI, I found binding for "Custom 1" and "Custom 2", but I can't found how to assign command line to this binding.

  Someone know how to do this ?

Thank

Yes you could do this using the Custom 1/Custom 2 UI bindings... here's how:

1.  Paste the following into a file called "MyCustomCommand.nut" in the plugin directory of your Attract-Mode setup:

Code: [Select]

fe.add_signal_handler( "custom_signal" )
function custom_signal( signal )
{
if ( signal == "custom1" )
{
fe.plugin_command( "@EXECUTABLE", "@CL_PARAMETERS" );
}
}

Replace @EXECUTABLE with the name of the executable you want to run.  Replace @CL_PARAMETERS with any command line parameters that need to be passed to the executable

2.  Go into the plugin configuration and set the MyCustomCommand plugin as enabled

Now whatever keys you map to the "Custom 1" inputs in the config will trigger your executable to run...

cheers

Hello,

  It works well. Thank you very much.
