Pcmanfm alt+arrow shortcuts for "back" and "cd ../" not working

A recent update must have stopped this from working for me. In previous versions, alt+up arrow caused me to go up a directory level, and alt+left arrow caused me to go back to whatever directory I had previously been in. Now alt only causes lines to appear underneath the menu items (as to show what alt+letter combo would open the menu).
Is this occurring on anyone else's pcmanfm?
pcmanfm-mod-nohal has the correct alt+arrow key functionality... so not sure where the breakage is coming from.

Thanks for the suggestions. Responses below
2ManyDogs wrote:1. Did you do anything or install anything right before this problem started (you mentioned an update -- do you remember anything particular that was updated at that time)?
Unfortunately not. My recollection is that pcmanfm was updated, but who knows what else might have come along with it?
2ManyDogs wrote:2. What window manager are you using? Have you tried installing a different window manager to see if the problem persists? On my machine pcmanfm works fine in spectrwm but the keyboard shortcuts do not work at all in cwm.
I'm using Openbox. I could try another DE/WM, but would prefer not to. I may just to check.
2ManyDogs wrote:3. Have you tried a different file manager? If you are unable to fix this problem, could you live with thunar or spacefm instead of pcmanfm?
I really don't like spacefm's left side navigation behavior. Clicking over there just takes you to the folder, but you can't up/down arrow to navigate the tree, at least that I've figured out.
2ManyDogs wrote:4. Have you tried removing and reinstalling pcmanfm?
Inherently, yes, as I've tried other fm's, I've uninstalled it. I could try removing it and any configs though. On that note, I just installed pcmanfm in a virtualbox installation of Arch that I've barely touched so far on my work Windows machine. It should have minimal configs set up. I get the same behavior.
2ManyDogs wrote:5. Are you using systemd? Did you start using systemd around the same time as the problem started?
I'm not familiar with this. It's installed, but from my perusing of the Arch Wiki, it looks like I'd have to activate it somehow. I have not added systemd to my init line of grub or syslinux.
2ManyDogs wrote:6. Are you using any keyboard-trapping utilities, such as xbindkeys?
Don't think so. I don't have xbindkeys installed. I checked my rc.conf for openbox to see if I had anything. The closest was Ctrl+Alt+Up to switch to the last workspace, but commenting that out and re-loading openbox did not fix the issue.
2ManyDogs wrote:7. You mention that the problem went away for a while -- what did you do right before it went away, and right before it came back?
Don't recall this either. I should have taken better notes! My memory vaguely recalls something having to do with numlock, but that's not doing anything anymore.
2ManyDogs wrote:8. You say "pcmanfm-mod-nohal has the correct alt+arrow key functionality" -- this is probably significant, but I'm not exactly sure how.
Yup -- mod-nohal works. Thanks for reminding me of this, as I'll probably just switch to it for now. I don't know if there was a reason I didn't just stick with that. Perhaps anal retentiveness at wanting to know the source of the issue.

  • Keyboard shortcut for star shape does not work - arrow keys

    I need to use the star shape to make a sort of badge with many points.
    In the past, I've used the star shape and held up arrow or down arrow to change the number of points on the star. This no longer works for me in Adobe Illustrator CS4 (on a Windows Vista). Did this shortcut change? All my other keyboard shortcuts work. I tried resetting the preference file for Illustrator just in case, but it didn't fix it.

    I have found a work-around for this problem, although it's a bit annoying.
    I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and encountered the same problem with establishing the number of points on a star. I tried everything and noticed it worked sometimes. Well, turns out that it will work only once after changing the settings for your pen.  I just moved the tip feel setting leaving the pen tablet properties window open, went to illustrator and the arrow keys worked. If you try drawing the shape again, it won't work. You have to go back to the pen tablet properties window and move or change something, go back to illustrator and it works again. It's a little annoying, but if you're used to using the arrow keys to create shapes, it's handy to know it's there.

  • Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

    I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone.  Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
    This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
    Is there a fix for this.
    Thank you.

  • Fix for imessage and facetime not working in iOS5

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION - It's worth shouting about!
    will work on itouch as well
    Upgraded 3 devices to IOS5. iphone 4, iPad 2 and iTouch (4th Gen). iMessage activates but during sending message it get stuck at 90%, Facetime stopped working on all 3 devices! All connected through a home network  No luck with any of the suggestions on the internet as to the cause of the problems.
    Took iphone and iTouch to work, connected on the open Wi-Fi there and hey presto both iMessage and Facetime started working!  What the ****?  Brought the devices home and they continued to work on my home network.  Still no luck with the iPad 2 sending to either of the other devices or connecting on Facetime.
    It struck me that there appeared to be an issue with the activation process ( even though it said activation successful at home).  The most likely cause is the DNS server not passing the data through correctly.
    I checked my DNS setting on my router and they were set to Open DNS (208.67.222.220), maybe using Google Public DNS would work?  But I didn’t need to mess with the router settings, the DNS on the apple device overrides the router setting. I set the Pad DNS (in Wi-Fi settings) to the Google DNS and straight away a mass of “stuck” test messages came through and I could also send iMessages.  Facetime also started working! Yippee! Success!  I reset the DNS back to its original value after I finished and it still works ok ( this is optional as Google DNS is good to use as default).
    So here’s the fix.... it’s so simple!!
    Settings > WiFi > find the active wifi network ( the one with the tick)
    Click the blue arrow> find the DNS entry ( 4th item down), note it’s value.
    In the DNS field – type in 8.8.8.8
    Click the “home button” and then try iMessage and Facetime.
    (it’s up to you if .want to set the DNS back to it’s old value)

    Your solution works like magic! Thank you very much!

  • How to Create a Parameterized Report - The select "- ALL-" for department and manager not working.

    I downloaded the OEHR Sample Objects application and followed the steps in Oracle® Application Express Advanced Tutorials

    What's the most efficient way to retrieve "all" if the users selects all for dept and mgr - thus we'd want to return all records in the table.

  • 10.1.4 library file missing for help and update not working

    Just updated to AR 10.1.4 and everything seems to be working except the help and update functions are not working. I get the message that the library help file is missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled in both FF15 anf IE9 with the same result and I installed from both Adobe and FileHippo with the same result. Anybody have any suggestions?

    On the AR 10.1.4 tool bar menu click the "Help" item and the drop down screen shows a number of items to select from. If I click on "Adobe Reader X Help" I get a message saying "the library file is missing and I should reinstall". As for "check for updates" nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled AR 10.1.4 from two different browsers, IE9 and FF 15 with no difference. I'm using Vista 32 bit OS.

    Hi,
    Please check if there is Event ID 9017 and 9018 in the application log, make sure the MRM works well.
    Please make sure the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants service is working well.
    And you can increase the diagnostic logging level for the MRM, then you can monitor the events in the application log.

  • Windows Alt shortcut for Rectangular Marque is not working on CS6

    I'm using windows CS6 and was trying to shrink the selection around an object with a solid background.  I selected the object using the rectangular marque and then held down the alt key and clicked inside the selection on the solid background.  Nothing happened.  This used to work on my older CS2 version.  What's up?  Did they change the shortcut?

    Maybe your were doing something like ths:
    1. Make the selection with the rectangular marquee tool as you described
    2. Switch to the Magic Wand Tool
    3. Hold down the Alt (Option) key and click on the background color within the selection
    The Magic Wand Tolerance value can affect the selection

  • Any fixes for drag and drop not working in WAD with IE9?

    I have exactly the same issue as is described in WAD Problem - can't modify and Drag&drop in Web App Designer (WAD) doesn't work but unfortunately I don't have the option of going from IE9 back to IE8.  Has anybody found a fix for using drag and drop in WAD with IE9?
    Edited by: Jason Muzzy on Jul 22, 2011 1:09 AM

    Hi Jason,
    Thanks for replying .
    But I am facing this isssue in Web Application Designer. The link which I have shared shows the behavious of cursor while dragging and dropping
    Drop not allowed ("blocked traffic" sign)
    Drill across (arrow pointing to the right)
    Drill down (arrow pointing down)
    Exchange dimensions (exchange icon)
    Add to filter (add icon)
    Remove from filter (remove icon)
    Reorder list (reorder icon).
    This issue I am getting in Web Application Designer itself.In WAD 7.X ANALYSIS TABLE do we have any option from which we can disable drag and drop of cells because it is destroying the view of report output .
    In WAD 7.X we have option of Activate Navigation in ANALYSIS TABLE but if we disable this our context will get disable and it shows the default Browser context menu.We have not provided any such options so that its original layout will retain back .
    The solution they have mentioned to Disable Drag and Drop is not available in WAD ,its available in Analyzer.
    Please let me know if you have found any solution for this.

  • Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

    My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
    I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
    I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
    I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
    Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
    Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
    Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
    Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
    I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
    So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
    EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

  • Hp 2.4 ghz wireless optical mobile mouse - back and forward not working

    Hello everyone,
    I bought an HP 2.4 ghz wireless optical mobile mouse, installed the drivers and sw in the CD that came with it, but I can't get the back/forward functions on the center wheel to work (neither on Chrome nor Windows Explorer).
    My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise + SP1 (64-bit).
    Could it be a driver/OS issue? Or should it work out of the box and is probably a hardware issue?
    I have:
    - uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the CD;
    - uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the HP webpage;
    - uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the HP webpage and then the ones on the CD (which i think made some sort of upgrade on the HP Mouse Suite).
    What should I do to get back/forward to work?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Just figured out the left/right arrows on the wheel are for horizontal scrolling only, and not back/forward.
    Does HP plan to support the back/forward function in this mouse model? The hardware is there, it's just a matter of drivers.
    The issue was solved via remapping the mouse keys with not-HP software. This is something a standard user would probably have trouble doing.
    This is an entry level product, but 99% of the mouses I've seen that have center wheel left/right capabilities can be configurated to back/forward.

  • Safari 3 for Win and Mac not working with sites

    I work for a company that does all the IT stuff for the county of San Diego, and it was brought to our attention that the County site (and some of the sites in it) don't play nice with Safari 3 on either platform. I downloaded the latest beta, plugged in http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov , and get a bunch of boxes at the top of the window.
    The sites work fine in IE 5-7, Safari 2 and up, and Firefox. Someone on the ARStechnica forums mentioned they saw our servers (IIS and Unix/Apache) are set for uft-32. Okay, so does anyone know what we should have them set at so people (and our client) stop complaining we don't work with Safari Beta?
    Thanks for any feedback/help.
    Greg

    Thanks Tom,
    I'll look into it. We're going to change the test server to utf-8, but can't until the one guy who has admin access to the box gets back from training in about a week. Yes, they could have given admin or sudo access to a few of us, but that would have made too much sense.

    So I have recently found my lost iPad after about a year and when I turn it on, it's giving me never ending popups for my iMessage and FaceTime apple ID, which says is incorrect. i now have an iPhone 5c whose email I switched because my old one (aka the one my iPad is set up to) got disabled. On my phone, my iTunes/App Store and iMessage/FaceTime Apple ID is my new email but my iCloud is still the same. I decided to reset my Apple ID through my iCloud though I typed in my new email since I thought it'd change it. Now, my iMessage is messed up where I can't text my friends in other countries (though I can with my friends in the same country though it's not as an SMS), my iMessage won't activate, I'm not sure if my friend can even see the messages, and I don't know what to do.
    If it helps any, I deleted my iPad from my iCloud for backup storage space. Also, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area as I'm mainly talking about my iPhone 5c but it also has to do with my iPad mini
    Also, I just tried signing into my old Apple ID in iCloud on my phone with my new password and it worked and my old one didnt

  • OMF export for Pyramix and ProTools not working correctly

    I am exporting OMF files of very simple timelines (30 second promos) for an audio guy based in another part of the country to do audio post.
    He is using Pyramix 7.1.10 and ProTools 9.1, while I'm outputting from Premiere 6.0.1
    The problem is that when he imports the .OMF (which is exported 24bit, trimmed audio, encapsulated files), one leg of the music track is always missing
    This happens the same in both ProTools and Pyramix
    Has anyone else had this happen?  Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?
    All help appreciated
    Thanks
    jON

    I am a post audio mixer working in ProTools, and I have the same issue, just a little more complicated.
    The editors I work with handle a variety of projects, most of which use sound shot with EFP cameras.  The audio recorded on these cameras is "stereo" in the sense that there are indeed 2 tracks as a single interleaved file, however, the content is dual mono, with the 2 tracks either being 2 lav mics, or a lav and the camera mic.
    Is there any way in Premiere that this can be put onto 2 mono tracks, that are then exported as mono tracks, rather than being doubled up in the ProTools session?  Adaptive tracks don't seem to work in this situation.  The editors have tried a variety of things, none of which seem to make a difference.
    Also, regarding stereo music ... that too has been exported to me as a mono file, even though it was supposedly put onto a stereo track in Premiere.
    Thanks for any insights.
