How can I bind the meta key (a.k.a.  / Windows key) to a left click? Hitting the meta key should trigger a left click, and pressing down on it should allow me to drag and drop (just like it would do when holding down left click).  I tried using System Preferences -> Shortcuts and Gestures:    but I cannot set "meta" alone as being a shortcut.  I use Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 4.   (On Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate I can achieve that using the program .)

What would be the best approach to install a keyboard hook on Linux (X-windows) in order to trigger some application when some key-combo is pressed?? Is there a way to do this regardless of which window manager is running? The idea is to have an application being called ( or brought to foreground ) when some key is pressed in a way similar that Google Desktop does to Ctrl-Ctrl.

How do I reassign the keyboard shortcuts for Firefox? I want to use ctrl+right/left to switch tabs. Is there a plugin for this, if Firefox doesn’t natively support this?

I am quite proficient with the keyboard and try to only use the mouse when necessary. Given that context I was very familiar with the shortcut keys in MS Outlook 2003 and never needed to use the mouse to use that product. Now my company has recently upgraded to MS Outlook 2010 and I am finding it impossible to operate it without having to use the mouse. In particular replying to meeting requests with the old shortcut keys no longer seems possible.   I have held down the ALT key and sometimes it shows some shortcuts on the ribbon but this seems to be limited to ALT+H which tends to alternate between designating "Accept" and "Tentative" without any keys for the other options. Also as this appears to switch between "Accept" and "Tentative" one can't even use this consistently without first having to check what it means for each particular instance.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

The key /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet in gconf-editor is missing.  How do I assign magnet links to use qbittorrent?  It would be really nice if it were easy to set url handlers. I always struggle with this when doing a fresh install. I would like to set subl:// to open sublime text 2 too.  EDIT: I would like it to work regardless of the application I'm using to activate the link. I'm using Chrome, but IMO the OS (Ubuntu) should be handling links that an application doesn't know how to handle - which it does, so how would one configure this?  EDIT2: This post details how to make the text editor in VIM handle vim:// urls, perhaps this can be applied to to magnet links. i.e create a desktop shortcut defining a MimeType handler then refreshing the cache. (Can't try right now as I'm using 12.04).

I have customized some of the shortcuts in System ▸ Preferences ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts.  How can I restore individual shortcuts to their default settings? I do not want to reset all of the shortcuts, just a few of my choice.

I would like to rebind some keys on Linux via Xmodmap. Left and up cursor on my Acer (yes, I know) laptop have broke. I would like to map shift+down to up, and shift+right to left. Struggling to determine the syntax for this from man pages. This syntax is wrong, throws bad modifier, but captures the intent:  add Shift_L+Down = Up

In FF, I can move a tab to a new window by either dragging the tab out of the browser, or right clicking the "move to New window" option from the context menu. is there a shortcut key to move the current tab to a new window without dragging or using the context menu, or a way to set one up?  Often, I like to look at 2 tabs side by side, so I drag one out, then hit WINDOWS KEY+→ to put the detached tab on the right, then ALT+TAB to tab back to the main window, then WINDOWS KEY+← to put the main window on the left. It would be great if I could do the whole process on the keyboard.  I checked  documentation and did not find any shortcut key for detaching a tab:

I would like to add a conditional key mapping to Ubuntu 19.10.   Normally when a window is in full screen mode and you press super+arrowDown it enters window mode (or whatever it is called).   When a window now is in "window mode" I would like to be able to minimise it (and only then) by using super+arrowDown on it.  Is it possible to create such a shortcut without affecting the mapping of super+arrowDown on full screen windows?

In most Linux window managers, one can use the Alt key while clicking and dragging to rearrange windows. This is one of my favorite features of Linux window managers.  Is there a way to do this in Windows 7?

Since the motherboard on my HP laptop died, I'm temporarily using my wife's Gateway laptop.  It's a nice little computer, except the [Function] key is at the bottom left of the keyboard, where the CTRL key should be, and the CTRL key is next to it.  I know that the [Function] key is not interpreted by the OS, only at the hardware level, so is there any way to switch these keys?  Having the [Function] key there is SO unnatural.  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate RTM  Thanks for any help!!

I am using Terminal version 2.5, where I have two requirements:  I need to be able to type the Meta key. I need to be able to type the # character, too (Option+3 for the UK keyboard layout)  How can I satisfy both of these? By default, (2) is satisfied, but (1) is not. I can then turn on &quot;Use Option as Meta key&quot;, which satisfies (1), but breaks requirement (2). How can I have both? (It shouldn't be so hard for me to just be able to type.) Edit: what I'm looking for, for example, might be a way to just &quot;Use Option as Meta key&quot; for the left/right Option key, or a way to override the &quot;Use Option as Meta key&quot; for the sole exception of the # character.

I read somewhere that the Alt Gr key found on some layouts is a substitute for Ctrl + Alt.  However, what can this combination be used for? Are there any documented shortcuts using Ctrl + Alt?

I want "Command Prompt Here" in right click menu for all folders but without having to hold shift key.   It was possible in earlier versions of windows,  but it's not working anymore, in Windows 10.  Has this method changed in Windows 10? or is there another way to do this?

I've already tried clicking and holding the left button of my mouse, and it just won't work! Whenever I press it, it opens the game menu instead.

I am trying to use my HTPC with only a keyboard. Even though my keyboard is from Microsoft, they failed basic windows certification and did not include a menu-key, the one that shows a mouse cursor and a menu, usually located on the right of the space bar, between alt and control. without that i can't do many actions. On windows XP (or maybe NT? not sure) right alt+enter used to emulate that key and i would get the context menu... but on windows 7 that ain't so. Is there any other key combination that can act as an alternative for context menu on selected items on windows 7?
