View 7 RepliesI would like to create a keyboard shortcut to minimize/iconify an active window. Tried xbindkeys-config but no luck.
Alt+F2 brings up the run command on nearly any desktop environment
Alt+F4 kills the app being active at the time
Win+D will minimize all windows
How can I get Alt+F3 to minimize/iconify a window which is active? Thin can be achieved by Alt+Space+N but it's to long and I would like to change this keybind on Alt+F3 since it is quick.
I would like to know if it is possible to assign new keyboard shortcut combinations for actions such as:
Action: switch tabs
Actual Shortcut: Control+(Alt)pgUp/pgDown
New Shortcut: Control+Tab (as it is on Windows)
Action: activate combo boxes item lists
Actual Shortcut: Alt+Down or F4
New Shortcut: still don't know yet
I have not found a way of doing this under gnome-keyboard-properties or gconf-editor.
what is the command to minimize ALL windows using the "keyboard shortcuts" app on linux mint?

I have a Logitech MX900 mouse and the button I'm talking about is the one on the top that looks like two overlapping rectangles.See picture here: ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

I basically want to ape OSX and have an expose-like button, the screen edge works fine for now, but I would love a keyboard shortcut also. Is it possible? Also, when I set up a custom keyboard shortcut to run yast, I initially tried using the same command from the KDE menu: /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2
However, when I use the keyboard shortcut to launch this command, I get problems when trying to use zypper after the initial launch using the keyboard shortcut(from yast GUI or CLI). The error basically states another instance of yast2 already exists. The problem is only with the app/repo management modules though; for instance I can launch yast (using keyboard shortcut or start menu) and access hardware info, sudo users etc, I just can't access software/repo management stuff. Even when I kill the offending PID from the CLI I still get the error and have to restart the box to rectify it proper. So I changed the keyboard shortcut command to : /usr/bin/kdesu /sbin/yast2
and this seems to have resolved the problem. My second question is what is the difference between the two in this particular instance and why does one cause problems (xdg-su) and the other does not (kdesu).

View 3 Replies View Relatedand i know of course i could just get used to it. but the X minimize and expand buttons on the windows is flip flopped on 10.04 now i dont have a clue how to change it back. it kept all old settings but changed this one little thing and its bothering me. ive been through compiz and appearance and whatever else i thought might change this. but just couldnt figure it out. i prefer my escape to be at the top right of my page. as i expect a majority of u do as well. anyone wanna point me in the right direction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOK I feel silly having to as this as it probably some setting I changed but cant figure out where I did it..
So when I click on the minimise button of an open window instead of dropping to the bottom panel it disapears completely. Likewise if I have say a folder open and then open something new the new one replaces the old one instead of al being available in the panel.
Where do I reset this?
Before this command used to work "CTRL+ALT+d" it use to minimized all the open windows.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi'm a long time windows user that decided to try out Ubuntu. I installed compiz fusion so i can play with the effects and it for some reason it deleted my toolbar on the top so i cant move my windows, nor minimize them or x them off. I also must use the classic mode because unity is nothing but a blank desktop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI did an upgrade to F15 from F13. I was a little skeptical about the upgrade (I had always reinstalled in the past), but so far it seems to have worked great. What were people thinking when they released Gnome? No minimize of resize buttons for all windows (I downloaded the F15 updates today, and there doesn't seem to be any updates to fix the situation). Ridiculous. Who did any testing on this? Once a fix was found for that, I find Gnome to be non intuitive and inefficient regarding response time and user key strokes required.

I am using GNOME Ubuntu 64 bit Lucid Lynx with Cairo Dock, Compiz Fusion, Screenlets
Sometimes when I start up linux the buttons to close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear. Restarting usually fixes the problem.
Do you have any ideas why this would happen? Is there a command that will restart gnome without having to restart the computer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed XFCE on a machine built with the FC 15 LXDE based live CD using yum groupinstall XFCE. I got a usable XFCE session, but after a period of use, some things have gone missing. The windows don't have minimize,resize and close icons on the top bar. The settings selection for "Window Manager Tweaks" doesn't start any program. The programs that are open in the users session are not saved, even though that option is checked. Can this be explained by corruption of a single file somewhere? Or should I re-install XFCE again.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install of 11.04 and I have experienced that my separate X-screen does not have the program-name bar with the minimize, close-buttons etc. It's my third monitor is a separate X and it does not really work since I cant close programs, maximize windows or move them around. I cant even write anything on it. The first two monitors work great as one X-screen, just as they did in 10.10. Ubuntu Classic, no Unity. Two monitors (one X) on a ATI HD6970 One monitor (the X-screen that doesn't work properly) on a ATI HD4870

When I use them, either nothing happen or it changes my tabs in firefox and chrome, I haven't found how to override this. I don't seem to have found anything in keyboard shortcuts...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI like a lot the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Windows 7 for managing windows across multiple screens and would like to replicate them in ubuntu. So far I created shortcuts for moving windows from one screen to another.
WinKey + Left: Move active window to the left screen
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,0,-1,-1,-1
WinKey + Right: Move active window to the right screen
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,1280,-1,-1,-1
Now when you press WinKey+P in Win7 you get a nice menu where you can select if you want only monitor1, monitor2 or both. I would like to at least create shortcuts to switch between these modes. For example bind WinKey+1 to turn only monitor1 on, WinKey+2 for m2 and something else to have both monitors on.
I'm using two OS in parallel, and all of my data are stored in partition D. I want to create a shorcut to a specific folder inside it, e.x: D:/path/to/folder and put it in the Ubuntu Desktop (~/Desktop).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI somehow managed to screw up my 'switch between windows shortcut' when changing the settings for compiz. Now I cannot get it to work at all, despite trying to solutions on this and other forums. I removed compiz with the software center and my alt-tab shortcut still didn't work--although it IS enabled and set correctly in the System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts menu. I reset the alt-tab combo so something else (alt-space, which works for its normal setting of bringing down the window's dropdown menu) but it still did not work to switch between windows.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn the Mac, I use Command + ` (the tilda) to cycle through windows in the current application (eg terminal or chrome). It's like alt + tab except only for the current application's windows. (possibly on compiz but without any flashy exposee like graphics)?
