Fedora :: Erase And Paste Keystroke Combination?
Sep 3, 2011
I've watched with envy as one of my friends is able to erase a URL in the address bar of a browser and paste in another one using a keystroke combination on his windows machine. How can I do that in Linux?
I think he uses CTRL-V in Windows. This combination pastes in Fedora Linux (FC 12 Gnome and previous versions), but it doesn't erase what's there first.

I have been looking for a way to make whatever window that has focus react as if I middle-clicked into it (paste selection buffer), using only the keyboard. I installed xmacro, xbindkeys, ruby, and xclip to get this working. For Debian/Ubuntu, you should be able to do this:

I am trying to install Fedora 14 or 15 into a 2008 R2 Hyper-V environment. I can successfully run the install and log into the system as a user. I need to install the integration components so the mouse works. However, I can't find a way to get a terminal window open so I can mount an .iso with the installers.

I have this (Norwegian) keyboard layout on a HP Mini 1000 (came with US keyboard). But I can't seem to find the combination to get the ">" (or "<" for that matter) symbol/char. Anyone out there know the combination so I can finally use my netbook for other things than just simple browsing?

Using FC12 as a basis vor Amahi and started to use it more and more from that point. Started to Linux some time ago and am using Debian and its variants mostly. Som experience with Yum is scarce at the moment.Ran into problems with old transactions not finished and did what was advised: <g> checking for problems. That solved it. Great. So I decided to look into Yum options a little more.
So I told YUM to ERASE it. Shock and horror after a long wait and a looong list of packages being set to be erased it offered to erase 1208 packages!! Of course I denied politely first. There are lot of base-packages in that list, am I about to run the complete current setup? Leaving me in an unbootable / unusable state?

I have a Logitech Media Play mouse with many buttons. I'm using xbindkeys to create some shortcuts to programs e.g. firefox, gnome-terminal--these work wonderful. What I cannot figure out is how to get the buttons to work for the media player(Ubuntu>System>Keyboard Shortcuts>Sound). I set shortcuts using my win key and letters, hoping to use xbindkeys to send out a keystroke. I have tried to use xmacro but to no avail. xdotool was not helpful, I think it may be outdated(desktop/workspace functions did not work).
My preferred option would be to get mouse events to keystrokes working with xbindkeys and program x(x being whatever works); however, just getting my media buttons to interact with the media play is my ultimate goal.

The <Esc> key has an equivalent two-keystroke sequence within vim, I think I remember.

I have two machines one Ubuntu Lucid and one Kubuntu Lucid. They share a bluetooth keyboard through a KVM switch. As of last week both were working. At this point my KDE machine disconnects from the keyboard on the first keystroke. The Ubuntu machine is still okay. What I've tried/checked so far without success
I can connect my keyboard through Kbluetooth but it disconnects when I start typing. The timeout time is set to none. I tried rebooting and then reinstalling the software to no avail. I replaced the batteries in the keyboard. Plugging the bluetooth usb adapter directly into the KDE box. Removing and then adding the trust I find this in the syslog:
2010-09-18 12:09:42 godel bluetoothd[1911] link_key_request (sba=00:1BC:0F:F1:E7, dba=00:22:48:87:B3:49)
2010-09-18 12:09:42 godel bluetoothd[1911] Encryption failed: Permission denied(0x5)
Here's the kbluetoothrc from my home folder

I'm trying to do something a little crazy with my netbook, and I'm looking for some sage advice. Since I'm trying to maximize free screen space on my 10" netbook, I have top and bottom the panels auto-hide. No problems there, and since I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts (some default, some custom) I don't even use the touchpad unless I absolutely have to. My most common apps are shortcutted, and I've got Alt-F2 for everything else. However, by hiding the top panel, I don't have a clock on the screen. This is fine in essence, but when I want to know the time, I have to mouse up to the top of the screen. Not horrible, but it goes against my nature!
So my question is: Is there any way to make holding a key/combo display the time, then have it disappear when the key is released? I would love for this to happen when I hold the windoze key, as it is currently unused.
(btw, my windoze key will soon be an Ubuntu key, the good people at System76 and their free sticker set:[URL]... I know how to add custom keyboard shortcuts, but other than launching a clock app, I have no idea how to make this happen, or if it's even possible.

Running Slackware 12.0 (2.6.29.4), performed an entire package update via slapt-get --upgrade, after the upgrade keyboard is not recognizing every keystroke. I have searched the forums for similar issues, but due to the broad verbiage as to how to describe the problem, I have yet to find a solution.
I'd prefer not to have to upgrade to Slackware 13.0 or my kernel. Prior to performing upgrade, keyboard was working as expected. This really puts a damper on things, I type very fast and use the terminal 75% of the time. Having to backspace and retype is getting annoying.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

Is there an equivalent command that will perform the same task as ALT+F4 keystroke? I want to create a simple script that lirc can use so I can set up a button on my remote to close program windows that pop up (like when plugging in usb thumb drives, inserting a dvd, and other windows), and avoid having to remote desktop or go into CLI to kill the window.

This is one of the best feature of *nix ever. You highlight the text to put it in buffer and middle click to paste. It's been missing since F14.

When you open up a file browser, if there are tons of files in some directory, it will be tedious to locate the desired one mannually. For most of the file browsers, the desired file will be located automatically by obtaining the focus when you type the filename. I don't believe that Nautilus doesn't have this feature.So, there must be something I can configure with. Note that I'm just using the default Nautilus with fresh Ubuntu installation.

When I highlight text, then click both mouse buttons, I expect the highlighted text to be retyped where the cursor is. It has always worked that way! But in Fedora 15, the two-finger click just summons the right-clicky menu for a microsecond, then hides it. How can I restore the proper operation of the two-button click in Fedora 15?

I found the paste function of the center button is really annoying. Usually I use the center button to scroll up and down inside an editor, but when I scroll really fast occasionally I would press down the center button. The editor ended up paste whatever on the clipboard. Is there a way to disable it? I want the center button to function only like a scroll bar, no paste.

I want to copy a file from folder A to folder B using the GUI
But the paste button is grayed out.
I realise this is because I've logged in as a user rather than root, so how do I enable the paste option on this occasion so that I can paste these files?

I would like do add a new keyboard key combination for a function like Alt + F4.
for example shift + control + s.
Up to now, i was successful with exchanging the function Alt + F4.
But I don't like to exchange, because I need Alt + f4 and shift + control + s for the function close window at the same time.
So how can I add a new keyboard combination without to exchange?
