I often use the key combination ctrl + shift + F10 in my editor, and sometimes I mistakenly hit ctrl + alt + F10 which instantly transports me to a black screen with nothing but a cursor resulting in my having to reboot. I have no idea what the purpose of this key binding is but I want to get rid of it. I have looked in 'keyboard shortcuts' but there is none listed for ctrl + alt + F10. How do I disable this once and for all?
I am doing a project on rdesktop. My aim is to setup a write/copy protected session. I have made rdesktop connection between two Linux machines using Xrdp.Next I want to disable the ctrl+x,ctrl+v keys and the cut and copy option in mouse right click at client side
There must be a way to disable CTRL+Q for Nautilus, but google has failed me Actually, I usually have several permanent nautilus windows opened, and when I just hit CTRL+Q on the wrong window, it closed all of nautilus!
So I just "pkill nautilus" to restore the previous nautilus session (even if we can't control nautilus window session manually). But there are still a few things that could be improved for Nautilus. So for now, can we disable CTRL+Q shortcut for Nautilus?
When I press Ctrl-C in any pseudoterminal (xterm, gnome-terminal, rxvt, text console and SSH) in Karmic Koala, the string ^C gets echoed to the terminal in Ubuntu Karmic Koala. This hasn't happened in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. I'd like to get rid of the extra ^C. Example:
$ cat foo foo ^C $ _
I got the above by typing C, A, T, Enter, F, O, O, Enter, Ctrl-C. I want to get rid of the ^C, and get this for the same keypresses:
[Code]...
I tried setting stty -echoctl, which solved the problem for rxvt and xterm outside SSH, but it created a single-character HT when SSHing from an Ubuntu Hardy system, and it created a box with Unicode 0003 in it instead of the ^C in gnome-terminal. I want to see absolutely nothing when I press Ctrl-C. I'm using. Linux linux 2.6.31-20-generic-pae #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 10:23:59 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux I have these terminal settings in all systems and all terminal emulators:
I would like to disable the ctrl-alt-del feature for a Lucid Lynx server. i found some info on how to enable this in desktop environments, however nothing explaining how to disable it for a server.
How do I write my trap statement in shell script to ignore SIGINT.Reason being is that the script is used to update records in database. I want to avoid inconsistency in database when user presses Ctrl-C .The result should be
1. Totally ignore Ctrl-C (SIGINT) when user presses Ctrl-C 2. Continue with the rest of processing
I have 3 layouts: USA, Russian and Hebrew. In Hebrew the W key is mapped to apostrophe, so Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout doesn't close tabs in Firefox. There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.
" Mark the start of the text with "v", "V" or CTRL-V. The character under the cursor will be used as the start.""With CTRL-V (blockwise Visual mode) the highlighted text will be a rectanglebetween start position and the cursor."I can mark the start with "v" or "V".But it doesn't work when I push ctrl+V.
anyone has a clue why 'ctrl+a, k' nor 'ctrl+a, :kill' doesn't work for killing one of screen windows? Other screen's commands invoked with 'ctrl+a'seem to work.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything
I just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).
All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.
I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?
I'm trying to write a init.d script to daemonise a sagemath notebook server. Here's what I've done so far, I've copied /etc/init.d/single for the structure, and tried to use dtach to provide a handle to access the process. However, my main problem is issuing the signals to kill the process (Ctrl-C) from a bash script and exit dtach (Ctrl-`)
When I open a tty (Ctrl-Alt-F2) then go back to my GUI sometimes I need to use Ctrl-Alt-F1 and sometimes I need Ctrl-Alt-F7. Why? The lack of consistency is a bit annoying.
Today I've installed Fedora 15 and I don't know what to do. I always use ctrl+c/ctrl+v/del shortcuts and now only ctrl+c works perfectly. The ctrl+v and del not works. So what am I doing wrong?
UPD Ok I reasigned shortcut from Ctrl+Del to Del key. But problem with Ctrl+V is persist.
On fedora 10 and backwards you could use Ctrl+ALT+Backspace to restart X, this was massively useful in resolving any issues with hanging x processes and so forth... without losing session data.... it seems to not work in fedora 11...
With my first kernel, that comes with Fedora 10 x86_64 installation DVD, I can use ctrl + alt + f2 from desktop, switch to terminal, and log in to any user.
The problem is: Eventhough the login screen appears as usual with kernels 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 and 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64, I can not login. When I enter username and password, the screen refreshes itself to its initial state, i.e., like when i hit ctrl + alt + f2 from desktop. I also tried ctrl + alt + f3, f4, f5 etc nothing changes. Also, I want to remind you that I can login from desktop terminal successfully.
It's been months since I've used a Linux based OS. I'm a long time Fedora user so I'm not new to how Linux works. However, I was shocked to see that xorg.conf, as well as ctrl+alt_bs and ctrl+alt+f1-7 are no longer keybinds.
I installed the proprietary nvidia driver from the nonfree repos. This is where I messed up: I should have checked to note that my mothers GF6 onboard video controller isn't supported. Now, I boot into a black screen with a flashing prompt in the upper left hand corner. Normally, I would jump to the console using ctrl+alt+F1 to fix the problem manually. But, since It wont let me, I'm left in the dark.
I have the Cap Locks key remapped as an additional Ctrl key. (I did that using the GUI System->Preference->Keyboard). This works fine all the time except when issuing one command to emacs. If I do CapLocks+Alt+ it does nothing yet Ctrl+Alt+ indents as needed. Since CapLocks should be the same as Ctrl I do not know what is causing the problem or how to solve it.
Since I wasn't able to figure out how to enable ctrl alt backspace in kde I thought I would explain how to do it from the command line. Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root. Then add this to the file.
