How to run logkeys
I just installed logkeys from Software center. I am finding it hard to run it. Its documentation page doesnt help much either.
1. How do I run it?
2. Can I bind the start up with a key combination?
3. How to see the logs?
Thanks in advance

Add this command to startup application so logkeys will be started automatically during every startup..
Goto-->System-->Preferences-->Startup Applications
In startup applications preferences click add,it will give you a windows with Name,Command and Comments..
In Name field you can give any name and in Command field type logkeys --start
and click save.
Before that you want to specify output location for your log.In terminal type touch test.log
and then type this logkeys --start --output test.log
to stop logkeys type logkeys --kill
in terminal.
Post your comments if you have any problem,we will help you

Logkeys quick setup:
Get Logkeys from GoogleCode project spot:
wget http://logkeys.googlecode.com/files/logkeys-0.1.1a.tar.gz
Unarchive Logkeys:
gunzip logkeys-0.1.1a.tar.gz
tar xvf logkeys-0.1.1a.tar
Build up Logkeys:
cd logkeys-0.1.1a/
./configure
make
sudo make installl
In case of ./configure
failure, run:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Now, it's important to have the current keyboard map file. You can download the keyboard map files at: http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/wiki/Keymaps
After downloading the keyboard map file that you need, you can set up logkeys:
sudo logkeys -s -m /home/XYZ/Downloads/de.map -o /home/XYZ/loggy.log
Where
-s
starts the logkeys deamon,-m
is the path for the keyboard map file and-o
the log output file. Logkeys should now begin to dump the capture keystrokes to the defined log file (human readable).
To stop logkeys:
sudo logkeys -k
For auto start at boot time:
sudo vim /etc/init.d/rc.local
and add this to the bottom of the file:
/usr/local/bin/logkeys -s -m /home/XYZ/Downloads/de.map -o /home/XYZ/loggy.log &
If desired, reboot your linux box to check the auto start entry at rc.local
sudo reboot now
And you are done!
Props.

Sorry, I think the documentation is very understandable; Ask concrete question, if you don't understand something.
The second question, what isn't in the docs, I can anwser with this:
Click System > Options > Hotkeys, New hotkey, then give a name, the command is:
logkeys --start --output /path/to/log
(don't forget to change /path/to/log to your log location!!!), then click on your new hotkey, and give a key combination. Your thing is ready.

Thanks B.Roland. I am going through documentation .. and will edit the question accordingly.

Sorry, I think the documentation is very understandable; Ask concrete question, if you don't understand something.
The second question, what isn't in the docs, I can anwser with this:
Click System > Options > Hotkeys, New hotkey, then give a name, the command is:
logkeys --start --output /path/to/log
(don't forget to change /path/to/log to your log location!!!), then click on your new hotkey, and give a key combination. Your thing is ready.
