Firefox on linux, change tab to right alt with xmodmap don't work on firefox

Hi, I changed my tab key with my altgr key using xmodmap on linux, (for my xmonad setup) it works everywhere but firefox and thunderbird, my main concern is about firefox, I tried safe mode and disabling all extensions but it didn't work, any one knows why?

Hi
Igarcez, It is not specific altgr key mapping. any key mapped through xmodmap does not work in firefox or thunderbird. I repaired an old laptop where the x is not working. assigned the x to the windows key, and only in mozilla products, it will not work.
looks like mozilla uses its own keymapping program....

  • Requiring Right Alt, remapping keyboard does not work

    I require the Right Alt button in a game. I can't change the settings of the game cause it's a lazy port from the playstation.
    I've tried remapping the keyboard with the program which rewrites the registry, it works when I use notepad or office, but in the game itself, it doesn't.
    I also know that normally, ctrl + option key is the equivalent of right alt. But also no success
    Any workarounds?

    I'm using kdm, kde. Even at kdm (before login), these keystrokes does not work. So, I think that the problem is with some wrong configuration with X, but I don't know.
    I don't understood your second question 'show us where that keystroke is defined'. These keystrokes are pressed in KDM or KDE and don't work.

  • Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

    Hi :-)
    I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
    Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
    If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
    I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
    But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

  • S10-3: Change BIOS boot device sequence with + - keys does'nt work

    I want to boot my IdeaPad S10-3 from an USB HDD.
    In the default BIOS setting this is the 4th or 5th line in the boot device list.
    The help instructions in the right column of the BIOS page tell me to use the <+> and <-> keys to move an entry up or down. When I do this, the BIOS only responds with annoyed beeps.
    If the keys refer to a numeric keypad: there is none, and neither an indication how to map one onto the existing keys.
    Is this Netbook delivered with a BIOS that was designed for other PCs ?
    A workaround is to press <x> twice on a device above the desired boot device:
    The 1st press excludes the device, the 2nd press moves it to the end of the list.
    In this Forum I have found hints that "incorrect" changes of the boot device list may disable the internal harddisk, but I can't find precise definitions of "correct" changes that avoid this.
    Do I miss something or this just an improper BIOS ?

    Hi KalvinKlein,
    before I received your new Info about Fn+Insert , I had once more checked Fn-F7 : no effect in the BIOS.
    I have also tried all non-character keys plus the "Umlaute"-keys on the German keyboard with the following result:
    The key right of the "0" shifts boot device entries down in the list.
    On the German keyboard this key is labelled with " ß ? \ ".
    The next key on the right and left of the "Backward-Erase"-key, labelled with " ´ ` ",
    pressed together with the Shift-key, moves list entries up.
    Using these keys I have then set the Boot device sequence according to your suggestion :
    1: USB CDROM
    2: USB HDD
    3: HDD
    My USB-Memory stick (with BartPE installed) had been recognized as a USB HDD.
    After saving with F10 and <Return> the Netbook responded with a Beep and nothing further happened.
    I had to switch it off with a long press on the Power Button.
    Switched on again, <F2> pressed, BIOS checked,, o.k. <ESC>,
    loads Ramdisk image of BartPE from the USB-stick,
    starts BartPE with XPE.
    Checking available drives in the Windows Explorer resulted in :
    RAMDISK ( "B:" )                (used by BartPE for temporary storage)
    USB ("C:")                         (the USB-stick with the BartPE-iso file)
    "Wechseldatenträger / Removable storage device"           obviously refers to an unused USB-Port
    -volid ("X:") "CD-drive"    but actually another Ramdisk containing the expanded and running BartPE package
    The internal harddisk is not visible !
    I wonder whether this is a problem of the BIOS or whether I require special harddisk drivers (Intel Matrix Storage manager/driver or  possibly AHCP drivers) for Windows XP, because my present BartPE version is based on XP, while the Netbook came with Windows 7 Starter Edition.
    Further helpful hints would very much appreciated.
    Kind regards

  • How to get a new tab blank, solutions I have tried don't work

    How do I get a blank screen on a new tab? I have tried the about:config stuff and it will not turn into a blank page at all instead it's that stupid bing site with sweet packs.
    Do help please.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

    This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
    I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

    It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
    I went to this page:
    http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
    and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
    I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

  • Right Side USB Ports Don't Work on my DV7 6b32US

    I just bought a DV7 6b32US.
    It's on Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The left hand side USB slots are okay. but the two on the right side do nothing at all. No message - nada!
    It seems to be a common issue, but I have no resolution to it.
    Also, annoyingly, when I logged on to the HP site to try and find drivers, the laptop's serial number is recognized as a Compaq.
    Anyone able to help?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello everyone.  I understand you're having issues with non-functional USB ports.  I suggest trying the following.
    Go to Device Manager. 
    Expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section.
    Remove all "host controllers."
    Shut down the notebook.
    Remove battery and AC power.
    Hold power button for 20-30 seconds.
    Replace battery and AC power.
    Boot notebook and allow Windows to reinstall the host controllers.
    Reboot one more time.
    Verify that this resolves the issue.
    Let me know the result.  I hope you all have a Happy Holiday!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
    Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

  • 'Alt' with + or - doesn't work

    The adjustment increment of several of the sliders is supposed to be reduced by holding the Alt key down while the + or - key. This doesn't work on my system. I've tried tested both Alt keys with both + and - keys on my keyboard. No luck. All I get is the Windows error tone. Using the Shift key to increase the adjustment increment works as it should. Any ideas out there? TIA, njb

    I consider it's working OK on Windows
    But it's platform dependent !
    To resume :
    Windows   + and -  give  small  increments , shift and + and - give   big increments
    Mac          + and - give  big increments ,  alt and + and - give small increments.
    And the Martin Evenings book is the best LR book for me, though here he's may be not clear enough.

  • Changing labels for commands - white paper guidelines don't work!

    Hi guys
    We are having a hard time translating the UICommand "html_version", and because we have tried so much, we are now considering workarounds. But perhaps some of you could help us?
    We have followed the guidelines from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e7/cb7339fb23644fa9e406c6bc431c9b/frameset.htm, but for some reason it is not working. It seems as if the par-file is not deployed correctly since we are not able to use it to translate our command.
    On the other hand: If we try to use a standard bundlefile (that therefore already ís deployed in the portal), the translation is working fine.
    We could really need some help on this issue. Any helpful soul who needs ten points?
    Best regards,
    Martin

    Hi Detlev
    No, we hadn't looked into the tracefiles, but I just did, and here's is the not-so-surprising info:
    << item 0 : >>#1.5#0011856B0F97001C00000061000013340004076781AF30F3#1134041045506#com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.AbstractUICommand#sap.com/irj#com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.AbstractUICommand#kmd05#1041##BLR12T_KDP_8573350#Guest#2393e7e067dd11da9b5c0011856b0f97#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_27##0#0#Error##Plain###Missing or wrong ResourceBundle information for command with alias <test_html_version> - java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key search
    What I don't understand is why that file can't be found, when we have done exactly as the help.sap-documentation says. And our custom bundlefile is visible on the server, so something was created there, but perhaps not deployed correctly.
    Maybe the service does not start and work as it is supposed to do? (I have renamed it as described in the documentation).
    I really hope you can help, because we have been struggling with this issue for quite some time now.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ")

    Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
    The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

    If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
    You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
    The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

  • The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side?

    The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
    Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

    Hey jimmiet,
    There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
    As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

  • Change Right Alt/Option Key Shortcut

    Hi, I can't figure out how to turn off the shortcut when I press the Right Alt key by itself. Right now when I press the key it puts the window I'm using to the background. The problem is I can't use any of the multi-key shortcuts with the Right Alt key because of this stupid preset option.
    Does anyone know how to change this? I can't find this setting anywhere in the keyboard shortcuts or anywhere else in system preferences.
    Thanks a lot!

    It sounds like you may have accidently set one of the key functions for Expose to that option key. Check in your system preferences, expose and spaces options to make sure.
