Alt key in Gnome 3.0

Recommended Posts

I had the same problem as stated here: http://www.eternal-l...showtopic=57157, but the posted solution didn't work for me.

 

After extended googling I found an howto:

  1. Open terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
  2. install gconf-editor
    sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
  3. Open gconf-editor
     
    gconf-editor
  4. Expand: Apps
  5. Expand: Metacity
  6. Click on General
  7. Find mouse_button_modifier
  8. Click on value column at mouse_button_modifier line
  9. Delete the <Alt>
  10. Type <Super>
  11. Press enter
  12. Close gconf-editor

Now you are good to go. :)

Hi.

 

For Gnome 3 there are some add ons which I installed over a web interface.

With these add ons you can disable the alt or windows key modifier, and get a bit more gnome 2 experience.

 

Well if you pm me in game, we may find the solution together for you ...

I have silly little keyboard w/ touchpad more meant for a HTPC with only one ALT key and its mapped to ALT_R so I use script to load custom keymap after start which remaps to ALT_L.

 

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f $HOME/.xkbmap ]; then
sleep 10 && /usr/bin/xkbcomp $HOME/.xkbmap $DISPLAY
fi
