I am running Ubuntu 11.10 AMD-64, applied all fixes, tried various work-arounds, rebooted a few times, and pressing F10 still displays first menu list. As something of a newbie with Ubuntu, I'll be honest and say that I can't understand quite a bit of the jargon that goes on - what's gtk? unity? 2D vs 3D? At the end of the day, all I want is for Ubunut to allow me to press F10 and have it passed through to the app - in my case VirtualBox running Windows with Visual Studio debugging step being F10. Please can someone tell me how to achieve that. Thanks.

FireFox Firebug and Google Chrome debugger does it text editor Kate use F10 to toogle word wraping I think there are more app uses it May be unity2d should use different shotcut for mainmenu? ------------------------------------------- Desired resolution: - The "F10" shortcut should be changed to "Alt + F10". No "F" keys should ever be used for shell shortcuts without an additional modifier key. This change brings the shortcut into line with the "Alt +F1" Launcher keyboard navigation shortcut. - The menu key should perform the same function as Alt + F10 (display menus). A nice to have gold plating feature would be to detect if a menu key is present on the keyboard, and if it is display the 'menu' key shortcut in the shortcuts overlay in place of "Alt + F10" - The "Alt + F5" becomes a toggle, shifting the window between restored and maximised states (replacing the previous windox maximise Alt + F10 shortcut) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/878492/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
