You can remap keys to your heart's desire. I know that I can configure and tweak my system to my heart's content, but I rather get used to the default settings where it makes sense. It eases life with multiple computers, as well as helping others to use the same software. I just think that the traditional X shortcuts are not a very good solution to a problem, and a better one could be developed. I don't know any perfect solutions, but in my opinion, it is good that some of the most obtrusive shortcuts are already (possibly) getting a non-default status. While I haven't lost any important work due to X.org zapping, I fail to see why a modern graphics system should have many keyboard shortcuts itself in such prominent places. I am also an Emacs user, though I haven't yet figured what control in Emacs is close to ctrl-alt-backspace. Maybe it's the Finnish layout that has something positioned more favourably... -- Joonas Sarajärvi muepsj@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
