[Solved] jwm and desktop switching by Ctrl+Alt+N

How to make jwm to switch desktops by pressing Ctrl+Alt+N where N is desktop number (1,2..6) ?
Documentation says that should be used "desktop#" : "Key to switch to a specific desktop. To use this, # must be specified in the key section. Then numbers from 1 to the number of desktops configured are substituted for #." but there is no an example of key section with #.
Can anyone give complete example of using Ctrl+Alt+N ?

I think you would just replace "key" with "#" like so:
<Key mask="mask" key="#">action</Key>
Have you tried this?
Ohh ... thanks :-)
<Key mask="CA" key="#">desktop#</Key>
this does exactly what I want.

  • Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

    I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
    I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)
    [http://i53.tinypic.com/161hvh2.jpg The white rectangle]

    Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

    After you install the program just run obsetlayout it pretty self explanatory.

  • Lagy of vibrating scrolling and desktop switching

    My iMac 27" is not scrolling smoothly.
    When I scroll in all apps (like Safari) of when I swipe between 2 dekstops the contents being moved is vibrating/shaking during the animation in stead of smooth scrolling.
    As a fix i've tried to clean OSX with OnyX cleaning software and installed the NVIDIA CUDA driver. Both actions did not improve anything.
    Specs:
    iMac 27" end 2012 i7 32 GB Geforce GTX 680MX 2GB 768GB FlashDrive Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    Anybody any advise?

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • [SOLVED] enable Ctrl+Alt+L to lock?

    I just installed and configured gnome after moving from ubuntu on my netbook, and I always used Ctrl+Alt+L to lock my workstations. How can I enable this in Arch? I installed the xscreensaver package based on a tip I found elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!
    Last edited by pythonscript (2012-05-27 13:42:32)

    If you use gnome-screensaver, launch "Keyboard Shortcuts" in your preferences menu and change the shortcut.
    If you want to use xscreensaver see http://justlinux.com/forum/showpost.php … ostcount=7.
    Or you could have just spent a minute googling.

  • Hyper-V, RDC, UAC and Ctrl Alt End

    Greetings,
    Got a new computer running Win8.1 Pro. Still adjusting to Win8.1, but thought I'd give Hyper-V a spin so I can "replace" another system that I need to use for remote access to a client system. Be nice to just have one computer to do all my work.
    I've been using two systems to get my work done due to VPN conflicts - my primary work system connects me to work using one vendor's VPN, the remote client system uses a different VPN, and when I've worked on getting the VPNs to place nice together I have
    had little success.
    So I've been using two different, older and lower powered computers to get this done, but now I was thinking I could use Hyper-V to create a VM for accessing my remote client using their VPN without losing my work VPN connection.
    I've got the VM setup and configured, running Win7 Pro (because that's the other license I've got), and the VPN installed on it. I can connect to my work VPN, spin up the VM and connect to the client with their VPN, and RDC to the servers I need to work
    on when I need to work on them. Works great, right up to the point where the client UAC requires Admin elevation for the MMC (or other management type program). Up pops the box that says Press Ctrl-Alt-End to use my entered credentials, which have admin rights,
    to pass the creds on to the program.
    I can't figure out how to get Ctrl-Alt-End to the RDC dialog!
    I'm opening Hyper-V manager, then connecting to the VM on my computer. From the Virtual Machine Connection window, log into the client VPN, fire up RDC and connect to the server (logging in to their domain, etc.). I try to load the program on the client
    server in RDC, the UAC pops up, and - nothing. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-End on my keyboard brings up the lock screen on the Hyper-V connection, it doesn't pass it through to the active RDC session. I've loaded the onscreen keyboard on the remote server, clicked Ctrl
    Alt End, but that doesn't seem to pass into the UAC.
    I've thought - maybe I should configure my VM for remote access, then I can RDC to the VM, then RDC to the client's server, then... but... would that work?
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Greetings, Thanks for the reply. I'm not trying to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to clear anything, I'm not trying to use Ctrl-Alt-Del at all. Here's what I'm attempting:
    Fire up a VM, log into the VM, run the customer's VPN
    RDC to the customer's server
    Run the management app on the customer's server that needs elevated privileges
    In the RDC session to the customer's server:
     I get a UAC dialog, asking if "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows logon screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
    I click the first option ("I want to complete...")
    I get a second UAC dialog saying "Press Control+Alt+End" to enter your credentials"
    I'm not able to press Control+Alt+End and have it go to the server in the RDC session, the VM is capturing it first; I HAVE tried it using the onscreen keyboard in the RDC session also without success
    (I took screen caps of the dialogs, but, I've pulled an all-nighter working on another issue and couldn't seem to figure out how to insert them here... doh!)
    So - no Ctrl-Alt-Del
    Next time I need to get to the client's server I'll have to check the settings for keyboard shortcut forwarding. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • [SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+S and Ctrl+Alt+O Blocked by ?

    Hi!
    On a new arch+gnome system, I cannot bind any command to the Ctrl+Alt+O and Ctrl+Alt+S shortcuts in pycharm.
    Going through all the shortcuts in gnomes' Keyboard > Shortcuts and via dconf-editor, I cannot find any program that binds to these shortcuts.
    Any advice?
    Last edited by nonZero (2015-05-19 07:10:58)

    When using xbindkeys -k , I get this for ctrl+alt+s or ctrl+alt+o:
    "(Scheme function)"
    m:0xc + c:64
    Control+Alt + Alt_L
    Which is very strange, because it does work correctly for other shortcuts, for example, ctrl+alt+a:
    "(Scheme function)"
    m:0xc + c:38
    Control+Alt + a

  • [SOLVED] OpenBox - Transparency and Virtual Desktop Switcher

    Hi All
    I've just recently, in the last 2 days, switched from Gnome 3.2 to Openbox. I've never really used it before except for a short period on #! as I recall. I've a couple of problems I don't seem to be able to find any answers to and hopefully someone on here already knows how:
    1) I'm using Guake dropdown terminal - I don't mind switching to any other terminal if necessary. I can't get transparency to work correctly with it though. I've installed the following to try to resolve the issue:
    Cairo Composite Manager
    transset-df
    If I issue the command:
    transset-df -n 'Guake!' &
    the Guake terminal sets to transparent which is great. However, as soon as the window retracts and I call it back again the transparency has switched off.
    2) I've installed tint2 and it's pretty good. Problem is I can't find a way to get a virtual desktop switcher. Again, this choice isn't cast in stone, I'm quite happy to change to any other application, or set of applications, to achieve the following:
    Virtual Desktop Switcher - i like the way pypanel does this actually. I'm happy enough with the mouse wheel switching desktops but I'd like some indication of which desktop I'm on.
    Date and Time with a calendar - I've got Orca working quite well on a click on the clock for the calendar.
    I would have thought this was pretty simple to resolve really, it's just that i don't know Openbox that well yet and I could use some advice on the best way to resolve the issues.
    Thanks in advance
    Rich

    I've actually managed to resolve the transparency issue as well.
    sudo pacman -S devilspie xcompmgr transset-df
    Then in .config/openbox/autostart:
    # Start Composite Manager
    xcompmgr &
    # Start Devilspie to alter windows
    devilspie -a &
    # Start Main Panel
    tint2 &
    Finally, create a file in .devilspie called guake.ds with the following content:
    (if
    (is (window_name) "guake.py" )
    (begin
    (spawn_sync (str "transset-df -i " (window_xid) " 0.5") )

  • BUG: Ctrl+Alt+ number to switch modules only works with number pad

    Really annoying, since this worked nicely in the beta. If, for example, you hold down Ctrl+Alt+1 (pressing 1 on the top row of the keyboard) to switch to the Library Module, it doesn't work. If you use 1 on the numeric keypad, it works fine. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, try using the number pad on a laptop - you either get to use the number keys or the regular keys, so this shortcut is essentially useless on anything other than a full-size keyboard.

    Windows treats Ctrl + Alt shortcuts as special. They are used as hotkeys for desktop icons, and if a key is used for that purpose, it overrides any use within a program. I did a little research, and setting a desktop hotkey to 3 will cause your LR symptoms, where you can't used the normal numbers and have to use the keypad to switch modules. On the other hand, you'd probably be seeing the effect of using the non-number-pad keys (they'd launch a program), so it's a mystery.
    In my testing, I noticed that the Firefox browser uses that key combination to switch between its tabbed sessions. If you're running that program, you could test to see if it exhibits the same symptoms.

  • [SOLVED]CompizStandalone-GDM,ugly theme,keyboard and desktop handling

    Hi, i believe i have successfully installed compiz as standalone but i have a few issues;
    1. Fist of all i cannot change my keyboard layout. I tried this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo … t-Plugging and i have following in my xorg.conf but no luck
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "tr"
    Option "XkbVariant" "alt"
    EndSection
    2. Second, i have to do Ctrl+Alt+F1 then startx to get compiz working. Is there any way that i can add this to GDM just like any desktop environment ?
    3. How do i use the desktop ? I have set up a wallpaper in CCSM and folders are opening in Firefox.
    4. Lastly, themes look ugly. Is this normal or did i miss something ?
    Last edited by Selo (2012-03-12 19:08:34)

    1. I'm not sure how to help here; I think xmodmap migh tbe involved? I use the standard keyboard layout and switch to kana input with Anthy through IBUS.
    2. I use a .desktop file with LXDM and a script to accomplish this.
    The .desktop file (/usr/share/xsessions/compiz.desktop):
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Type=XSession
    Exec=/usr/bin/start-compiz
    TryExec=/usr/bin/start-compiz
    Name=Compiz Standalone
    The script:
    #!/bin/bash
    # Wallpaper
    nitrogen --restore
    # Sound
    SOUND_THEME='ootw'
    jackd -rd alsa -Hs &
    amixer set Master 80%
    xset -b&
    # PATH fix
    PATH=${PATH}$(grep ^PATH /home/mouse/.bashrc | cut -d \} -f 2)
    export PATH
    # TZ
    TZ='GMT'
    export TZ
    # VST path
    VST_PATH='/home/mouse/.vst/'
    export VST_PATH
    # Dockbar
    avant-window-navigator &
    # Tray applets
    pnmixer&
    wicd-gtk -t&
    batti&
    # Once!
    #urxvt -tr -sh 10 -e tmux
    # Keys
    xbindkeys&
    # Beep!
    mplayer "/usr/share/sounds/${SOUND_THEME}/stereo/desktop-login.ogg"&
    # Compiz
    fusion-icon # NOTE: The script stops here, and picks up when I select 'Quit' in Fusion-Icon
    # Boop!
    mplayer "/usr/share/sounds/${SOUND_THEME}/stereo/desktop-logout.ogg" # After this, the script exits and returns me to LXDM
    3. You can set up wallpaper either through CCSM or Nitrogen, Feh, what-have-you. I assume you mean desktop icons when you say "use the desktop". For those you can use community/idesk.
    4. You need to set the GTK theme. Try community/lxappearance.

  • [SOLVED] Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not work from KDM login screen

    I have some weird problems with switching to the virtual console from the graphical GUI.
    rc.conf: KEYMAP=hu
    Unless I define hungarian keyboard in KDE4 also, I cannot switch to vc/1 with Ctrl-Alt-F1. When the keyboard is defined in KDE4, i can switch.
    But in the KDM login screen, I am unable to switch and there is no option to set the keyboard.
    Any ideas please?

  • Ctrl Alt Del and Task manager not working

    Hi, Ive been having a problem getting task manager to run at all. On a fresh reboot, if I use the ctrl alt del function the according screen will come up like normal, and I will click on task manager. It bring me back to my desktop and nothing pops up.
    Its not running in my task bar or anything. Then if I try to use the ctrl alt del function again, nothing happens. Ive tried running task manager straight from the start menu, but then I get an error saying that the version of that file is not compatible with
    the version of windows I am running, which is 64 bit W7. It just started happening on my system a few days ago and I have changed nothing the past few days. I have tried to do a system restore, but to my idiocy, I did not know I needed to manually create restore
    points. So I can only restore to yesterday which would fix nothing. I have run antivirus and anti spyware programs and they have shown no problems and my hard drive only has a 1% disk fragmentation. Is there a way to uninstall and re download a 64 bit compatible
    version of the windows 7 task manager? Or is there a separate reason why it is not working? Thankyou

    Also try it By Registry Editor :
    Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok
    Then 
    Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER 
    Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System 
    Name: DisableTaskMgr 
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager
    Regards,
    MCP | MCTS | MCITP
    The first fix did not work, I tried doing the second one but there is no system folder in
    Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ 
    The only one its showing is an explorer folder.
