Re: Want to use hot keys using [Win] key and the like

Zaheer M K — 2008-09-30T09:24:21

Hi Arrus, What you've asked can be easily done through 'Keyboard Shortcuts' or some similar utility (I don't remember the exact name; I use XFCE) which is present in GNOME. It has a launcher which is usually in Settings or similar sub-menu. However, for some reason, the use of the 'Win' key has to be along with any other keys, but not alone, i.e. the 'Win' key alone cannot be used as a shortcut, but it can be used if you use along with another key, for eg: 'Win' key + 'M' key, for Menu. Zaheer.

Focusing Hippo CanvasEntry

2008-09-30T04:09:12

I've just started to play around with Hippo Canvas tonight. It's been quite easy so far, but one thing that's got me stumped is how to deal with focus for canvas items. Specifically, if I add a new CanvasEntry to a canvas somewhere, can I make focus go to that item? Attached is the little program I've been playing around with so far. If you run it and click on any text label, it'll be replaced with an entry item - these newly created entries are the ones I'd like to gain focus as soon as they're added. I didn't see any other posts about Hippo Canvas in the archives, but I also didn't see another list about the project. If there's a more appropriate forum for questions about it, please let me know.

Dumb little nautilus question ??

William Case — 2008-09-24T15:01:01

Hi; I use nautilus with the tree side panel open as my file browser. I would like to set up the command line so that when nautilus opens, the cursor in the tree is on 'Home Folder' but also the 'File System' folder is expanded so that if I want a directory other than /home/user I can go to it immediately. It would save me one mouse reach, an expansion and a click. Albeit, not a big issue, but I have been playing around here for a couple of hours and can't get it to work. Writing the correct command has elevated itself to a direct ego challenge. Is there any suggestions on how I can get the nautilus file browser to open with 'File System' expanded?

Want to use hot keys using [Win] key and the like

Arrus — 2008-09-24T12:18:24

Hello. My handle is Arrus. In Debian 4.0 (etch) with Gnome and Metacity, I want to be able to use it with hot key as follows. [Win] The indication of the Gnome menu [Ctrl] +[Esc] The indication of the Gnome menu [Win] +[D] Desktop indication / return it to the origin [Win] +[M] All windows minimization (not restored even if I push it once again) [Win] +[M]+[Shift] Return all windows minimization [Win] +[U] The indication of the shut down dialogue [Win] +[Tab] The right movement of the item choice in the task bar [Win] +[Tab]+[Shift] The left movement of the item choice in the task bar However, I do not understand a setting method (commands). In addition, the existing hot key wants to be just usable, too. In addition, there is much number of hot key that they want to set, and 12 are not enough. In addition, I tamper with /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/ subordinates of gconf directly because hot key setting tool is not installed with Debian 4.

Hi Sven, yes it is probably the same bug. Anyone had any experience with /etc/gnome/epiphany/mime-types-permissions.xml I wondered whether adding a mime type for texmacs to this file would allow Epiphany to recognize texmacs files. I am hesitant to just try it as any fallout would affect an entire network of users, not just me. Bob

Does anyone know how to get epiphany to open a texmacs file with texmacs rather then ask me to download it or save as? I would also like to be able to specify the helper application for pdf files but can not see how to do it. I thought that nautilus settings were used by Epiphany and I have nautilus opening texmacs files with with texmacs and pdf file with the application I want but Epiphany does not pick up these settings. Any help is appreciated. I am on a Debian unstable, AMD64, system. Bob

no PDF previews on remote ssh shares?

Sascha Heid — 2008-09-21T11:04:52

Hi List, i have many thousand ebooks shared and access them with nautilus' builtin "connect to ssh server" thingie from my Laptops. Works great but i get no pdf previews even though i have the settings in nautilus on "always" and "1GB". It tries to make pdf-previews when it loads new folders but ends up displaying the icon instead. I get previews of pictures though. Im running gnome-2.22 on all computers. Updating to the latest poppler/evince/nautilus on one of the clients did not change anything. Are pdf previews on remote shares working for anybody? Regards Sascha

Re: Saving Session w/ Multiple Independently Positioned Terminals

Allan Gottlieb — 2008-09-20T14:07:04

What I do is have one extra item in my session: a shell script. This script launches a bunch of apps To get them in the right place on the right desktop is a window manager thing. Presumably a powerful wm like sawfish would do it. Certainly e did it when I used that. Now that I use metacity (the gnome default) I use an add-on program called devilspie which allows me to have various apps appear in various desktops. hth, allan

Re: Saving Session w/ Multiple Independently Positioned Terminals

Bob Barrett — 2008-09-19T03:28:12

I, too, would like to know how to save multiple open terminals as part of a saved session. Since Mike's request is two months old and there have been no responses, should we accept that it cannot be done? I, typically, run the default setup of four desktops. I usually have two xterms open on each of three of those desktops. When I exit Gnome, and return, only one or two of those six terminals open. It's only a minor irritation. It doesn't take long to reopen the other four, but why doesn't gnome-session-save work for the terminals? I don't mind manually editing configuration files, if I knew the syntax to use. I haven't mentioned which Gnome release I have, because I'm in KDE, and this has always been the case as far back as I can remember. There's much to like about Gnome, but I usually put all six xterms to work when I'm in X. It's more often KDE because of this. It would be greatly appresiated if someone would let Mike and me in on the secret. Thanks for any help, Bob Barrett
