I want to quick paste some different strings using hotkeys. For example if I press Alt+L in any input form it works like if I pasted loremipsum. Or it  may be some abbreviation, for example I enter li, press Tab and get loremipsum.  I'm using Linux Mint with KDE desktop.  In Windows I could do it using AutoHotkey

Can I set up keyboard shortcuts for each input language? For example I want to set "Ctrl + 8" for English, "Ctrl + 9" for Ukrainian and "Ctrl + 0" for Russian languages. I don't want to switch and search language I need. It takes time. I want directly to turn language I want. I had this ability  in Windows. Maybe I need to install some plugin?

One thing that's really bugged me since switching to Chrome is that Ctrl + F behaves slightly differently from Firefox.  In Firefox, if you have text highlighted and hit Ctrl + F, it'll start finding with that text.  Is there any way of getting Chrome to do this?

I'm trying to copy-paste some text from vim. I'm doing v to enter visual mode, then y once I selected my block.  It appears to copy the text into vim's clipboard, because p will paste it. But in another program (e.g. Chrome), right-click->paste doesn't paste the correct text. How do I copy text to the correct clipboard?

I want to create a keyboard shortcut to i.e. open Firefox while I am working in another application. I know I can use ⌘ CMD+T when I am in Firefox to open a new tab.   I haven't found a way to create that kind of shortcuts in System Preferences.  Any ideas?

When typing in a text area in Chrome (e.g. in Gmail), I constantly have to reach the mouse to get spelling suggestions for a word that underlined in red, or to add a word to the dictionary.  Is there a keyboard shortcut that would show the contextual menu in that case, so you don't have to use the mouse to pick a suggestion or add a word to the dictionary?

What is the recommended method/syntax for denoting keyboard shortcuts in Stack Exchange questions and answers?  For example, how would you write the following in a less verbose manner?   Press ctrl, and press either the minus key or the equals key Ctrl or cmd, and lowercase c Ctrl, alt and a, then ctrl and uppercase l Hold ctrl or cmd while scrolling with the mouse wheel   (Well, the last one isn't strictly a keyboard shortcut)

My current technique is to right-click in the command prompt and then click paste.  This bugs me - is there a better way?

I'm using an Italian keyboard so I do not have backticks. The problem for me is not when I'm writing a question, because I can use the UI of course, but when I'm writing a comment I have to use the keyboard to format my text.  I know the Ctrl+K shortcut, but it's not working on comments, to me at least. I was wondering if there is an alternative char?

I use my mouse left-handed, which makes the default Cut/Copy/Paste hotkeys in Windows really akward to use. Is there any way I can change these - say to something like Control-m, comma, and period? That way, I could mouse with my left hand and use my right for the hotkey functions.

I used to be able to copy&amp;paste (or type if I load respective keyboard layout) any kind of characters (eg. é ö ñ ß و 好) in my console/terminal.  Now I bought a new computer and it does not work any more, only English/ASCII characters (but in other programs, e.g. firefox, it still works).  Distribution: Ubuntu. Terminals tried: gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole.  I tried  but after reboot echo $LANG still gives C. I also tried setting Character encoding to Unicode(UTF-8) in the gnome-terminal Terminal-menu - without effect.  Question: How can I get a terminal that is able to deal with non-English characters?

A Java6 application sits in the system tray. It needs to be activated using a hotkey (e.g. Super-G or Ctrl-Shift-L etc) and do something (e.g. showing an input box).  How do I do that on:   Windows (XP or Vista) OS/X Linux (Gnome or KDE)

In  the top answer shows how to copy text that has been previously selected with the mouse on a gnome-terminal, to the clipboard in X11.  My question is: Say I copy a piece of text from the terminal using bash set-mark and copy keyboard shortcuts (i.e. set-mark + M-w). Is it possible to share this clipboard with X11?   EDIT: In the original question, I talked about sharing the clipboard with GNOME, but as Gilles points out below, GNOME doesn't specifically have a clipboard (it's general to X), so I have updated the question.

I've been using mac for years, but prefer to do software development on windows. I'm really used to is using the folowing shortcuts on windows very much:  &lt;CTRL&gt;  + INSERT: Copy &lt;SHIFT&gt; + INSERT: Paste &lt;SHIFT&gt; + DELETE: Cut   Of late, I've taken to doing even my development work on the Mac. However, as a matter of habit, I'm missing these shortcuts very much. Actually, I find these a lot more convenient than COMMAND + (C/V/X) combo.  Is there a way to reassign these three shortcuts at least?   I've look all over the internet and in the "Keyboards" system preferences but I did not find anything.  PS: If you're wondering where I find the INSERT keys on a mac book pro, I use a wireless keyboard.

I navigate with Ctrl-n,p,f,b (readline/ keys), so that I don't have to move my hands too much and get  again. Is there a way to disable Ctrl-b being hotkey for bold?  Note that this is not just an Emacs thing. Standard web browsers, like Firefox and Chrome, use things like  Ctrl + K and Ctrl + L to navigate to the Google search bar and address bar respectively.
