I have a new install and my right touch pad button doesn't paste like on my other installs. Instead I have to use shift-insert. Does anyone know the keysym statement that can remap shift insert to my right touchpad button(laptop)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu installed on a vmware virtual machine and everything worked find except accessing Shift-Insert (Shift-0 on the numeric pad) in VMware console window (Windows XP). I'm one of those who used to using Shift-Ins and Ctrl-Ins for clipboard and Insert is where 0 on the numeric pad (Num-Lock is off). With this configuration any Shift-Numeric keys give numbers (as if NumLock was on)
What I noticed:
- The problem is not present if I use TightVNC for Windows for remote access (works as expected)
- The problem doesn't go out if I install open-vm-tools (installed with apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-tools
- Vmware console works correctly if the system installed on a virtual machine is Windows
Is there any way to paste texts without formating in Firefox? Normally, I'm using Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut in OpenOffice.org; and now Google Chrome has the same function:

I found Copy Plain Text and Extended Copy Menu add-ons for custom copy but I still could not find a compatible add-on for custom paste.

My name is ken on my system. Whenever I try to use CTRL or Shift Insert to copy or paste text, i get a dialog box that comes up and says, Could not find "/home/ken/~", see attachment, even after I click on the OK button. It used to work a long long time ago.It does not copy or paste anything. I'm on Karmic. If its a keybinding where the heck is it located. I'm sort of a noob.

I don't understand why I cannot use Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins shortcuts for copy and paste in console terminal. Shortcuts works fine in X terminal (fluxbox) Konsole... but they don't in text console.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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'd like to conserve as many resources as possible, with that being said, I'm switching from konsole to urxvt. After compiling and configuring my ~/.Xdefaults file as such.
Code:
URxvt*termName: rxvt
URxvt*scrollBar_right: false
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*borderLess: false

Then I run
Code:
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
By the way, running Slacware 13.1 x64 with Compiz. Still no transparency.
I have been mucking around with this for a couple of days and finally got Urxvt set with transparency and font spacing like I want. Does anyone else use Urxvt?

View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem with use of -hold|+hold on rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.09 on ubuntu server. On startup, I'm trying to launch terminal apps in urxvt automatically. E.g:

In my Debian installation I can type extended ASCII characters such as åäö by default using the terminus font, however in Gentoo I can't get it to work so far. Nothing happens when I hit those keys, like in this thread:Missing glyphs in Terminus font, how to setup a fallback font ? But in this case I know terminus supports those characters in at least some of its versions, since it's works in Debian. So what I want is to find out how to see and choose which of the many different terminus font files is being used. I set the font in the same way on both Debian and Gentoo, using URxvt*font: xft:terminus:size=xx in .Xdefaults. Both systems use en_US.UTF-8 as default locale.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a F10 machine set up as a media center (with mythtv...mythdora to be precise) and I love that it's based on fedora since I'm most familiar with it..I would like to map the power button press to a command "pkill X" since sometimes the frontend freezes and running this command kills X (I'm running ratpoison for the speed and simplicity...it just gets the job done and doesn't get in the way).Any help in mapping a single button press to "pkill X" would be greatly appreciated. I also need some help adding this command to the sudo list so the regular "mythtv" user will be able to run it...no password can be entered since the machine has no keyboard. Currently I log in via ssh to get this done but it would be nice to not have to boot up a laptop just to do this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedJust installed the Ubuntu for the first time and I have a problem. My keyboard's "a" key is faulty, it's acting like it's stuck, that is it is constantly typing aaaas so I had to disable it and reassign the letter "a" to another key. I did this quite easily in Windows with a program called KeyTweak...
Now that I started working in Ubuntu, the damn thing started acting just as it did under windows and it's constantly typing a all over the place, so I can't get any work done. How do I disable the key "a" and reassign "a" to another key(like q for instance)? Are there any programs for key remapping in Ubuntu or I'll have to do it manually? If so, how?
I play World Of Warcraft and in Windows I used a program that allowed me to map my 2 side buttons to one being CTRL and the other ALT to make for much easier keybindings. Does anyone know how I can do this with ubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter having a few issues with pidgin I've decided to play with pidgin. Its great, but I'm looking for a way to remap the commands to use the Windows key instead of the Alt key. I've found lots of references that show how to remap using the .gntrc file, but none that mention the windows key. This says I can rebind: [URL] And the examples on all the pages I could google are setup to use Alt (a) or Ctrl (c), but not the windows key. Examples I've found follow this format. Simple enough, but what to use for the Win key?
[GntWM::binding]
c-a-n = window-next
I wanted to use Ctrl-Alt-n ,but I would like to use Win-n
I was wondering if there was any native software like Autohotkey, GlovePIE, etc for Ubuntu that allows you to remap keys / make macros?
Windows has a ton of stuff like this. My first few searches though for Ubuntu software like that has turned up nothing.
I wanted to remap my Caps Lock key to ESC, both because I don't need the Caps Lock key and because it will make it easier to use vi. I know how to do this in X, but is there a solution that will work in command line mode too?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to remap a single key on my keyboard. This is the key which will delete or in numpad mode will put a '.' or a ',' in my case.I want the ',' to be a '.' .So I found out that xev gives me some information about the keys.So I tried something likexmodmap -e 'keycode 91 = period'Which is not what I want. Because than the delete command gets overwritten instead of the comma. So I triedxmodmap -e 'keysym 0x0 = period'Which looked like a endless loop to me. 0x0 is also quite strange, isn't it? But this is what xev gave me for numlock activated and the comma-key.The difference between the delete and the comma is the "state".Xev returns for delete:
Code:
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4800001,
root 0x10c, subw 0x0, time 1934052, (412,580), root:(416,605),

wondering if any other ppc users have had the issue whereby, after the first unsuccessful power down (or sometimes the second or third) of a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install, mouse button 3, which is normally mapped to F12, becomes function (fn) + F12.? This is really annoying as you now have to use two hands to activate the little drop down menu. So i tried remapping mouse button three to that strange little key beside the left arrow on an ibook keyboard that looks like a picnic table and which, under os x, renames stuff.
I ran "gksu gedit /etc/sysctl.d/10-arch-specific.conf" and edited it accordingly: mouse button 3 from keycode 88 to 104. It works, but i still have to press function to activate it and fn + F12 still works simultaneously (though it is no longer defined in the conf file), and my new key doesnt offer the same functionality (eg, it doesnt give spell check options in firefox where fn + F12 does). Arg. Anybody know how to make it so that i can activate mouse button three without having to press function?
I've been playing a fair amount of Minecraft. Awesome game, but I really dislike that the mouse buttons bindings aren't editable. I was wondering if there was a program out there for Linux that can remap a mouse button (Like [Right Click]) to a key on your keyboard. (Like the [Spacebar]) I've done some digging around, but nothing shows up to edit the three standard mouse buttons, just the extended ones.

I'd really like the solution to work independently of whether I'm using a window manager or not, and to involve modifying as few files as possible; I work on a lots of different machines and am always building new ones, so would like to minimise reconfig effort.

I'm currently using Fedora 12 as seen in the subject, and I'm fairly new to it, but recently I've had a problem with my HDD. The problem is bad sectors and I've read up on how they occur but not many placessearched actually explains how to deal with this. When I start up my laptop (Acer 5610z) I get a SMART error saying "predicted disk failure, please back up data and replace drive." Along those lines, so I got curious and used Disk Analyzer this roughly what it says:
Reallocated Sector Count: Failing Normalized:129
Worst:129
