Re: [lubuntu-users] Keyboard shortcuts

Hi Nio, Mark et al, I believe I have found the very thing I was looking for in syndaemon although its name is not exactly propitious! This is a system command which, according to the man page, allows you to set the delay during which the touchpad is defeated once a (say alphanumeric)

Re: [lubuntu-users] Keyboard shortcuts (for touchpad enable/disable)

Israel, I had the same reaction to Basil's suggestion. But, I overlooked how he said a value of zero means "touchpad off." I think that would satisfy resource sensitive people (the target audience of Lubuntu?). If I'm not using a real mouse (and needed the touchpad), reducing its sensitivity

Hi Mark, synclient touchpadoff=1 ## turns off the touchpad synclient touchpadoff=0 ## turns on the touchpad You can make aliases for these commands or bind them to some hotkey combination. Best regards Nio Den 2016-09-06 kl. 21:31, skrev Mark F: I would like the shortcuts better than

Re: [lubuntu-users] Keyboard shortcuts

I would like the shortcuts better than snapping. (I turn off snapping, I don't like it at all. I must be unusual because it seems to be the default in other distros.). Is there a listing of available shortcuts? I know the info can be seen in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml . But, I'm thinking

[lubuntu-users] Keyboard shortcuts to run arbitrary programs

Hi, I use both Ubuntu and Lubuntu. On Ubuntu I can use Super+1 to run the first program on the panel on the left of the screen. On Lubuntu, I can add programs onto the "Task bar" - added GNU emacs today, to accompany the icons to 1) start PCManFM and 2) start a web browser. I'd like to have a
