Ubuntu - Mouse - Mouse shortcuts with xbindkeys - Start xbindkeys

By default xbindkeys does not start on reboot and therefore can be added to the startup process if required.

xbindkeys needs to be started to work.

Run it Manually

xbindkeys

NOTE: This can be used when testing.

Edit ~/.xinitrc and add:

xbindkeys &

NOTE: The & means it will start in the background and the rest of the script will continue to run.

If a display manager is used, xbindkeys can be started in a script named ~/.xprofile.
The display manager will run that ~/.xprofile script after it has started Xorg and before it starts your desktop.
- Create that .xprofile file and make it executable with chmod +x …..
- For its contents, the following could be used:
```
#!/bin/bash
xbindkeys &
```
