Back in Kubuntu, and again I had to reset the IP address. Hmmm...

Anyway, K-> System Settings -> Regional & Language:
Keyboard Layout (grayed out, but shows US English). I don't see a US International setting.

K-> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse: Keyboard Shortcuts:

left-Alt = "Alt"
right-Alt = "ISO_Level3_Shift"

I don't know what that means, but it explains why the keys behave differently. It's not a big deal, but it's curious.

There is no separate Alt-Gr key on this keyboard. To enable the number pad in the keyboard, one has to hit Shift+NumLock. But KDE uses that to enable some "Mouse Key Accessability Tool". Hitting Cancel when that popup appears gives some combination of a number pad and arrow keys. But with NumLock on or off it makes no difference to the right-Alt key instruction in the Keyboard Shortcut app. Hmm...

Why doesn't KDE and GNOME use the [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_User_Access|CUA] keyboard -shortcuts (or at least offer them as a pre-defined option)? Alt-F4 often works, but sometimes doesn't. Alt-Space + N should call up the window's menu and then Minimize it. Etc., etc. Not having the keyboard bindings that I'm used to is one of the annoying things about using these desktops... :-(

(Yeah, yeah, it can be defined by the user, etc. I know. ;-)

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

Hi Wade,

If you were to change the right-alt defintion to "Alt" then RightAlt+LeftArrow would function in Mozilla the way you were expecting.

Any idea how to do that? The applet I was playing around with lets you tell the GUI what to do with a keystroke, but doesn't seem to let you define the instruction sent by the key.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.
