I don't intent to let everything look the same how i want it.. that should indeed fit in the os it's running on. I was only talking about key actions.For example if i assign CTRL + P to a print method then i expect it to be assigned to the same method on all osses it runs on. Or when i bind the mouse scroll wheel to open a new tab it should do so everywhere and not past some text. 2008/8/3 Callum Lerwick <seg@xxxxxxxxxx>: > On Sat, 2008-08-02 at 22:47 +0200, Mark wrote: >> Ehm..

First years Fedora (since version 5) and now just a year using ubuntu with fedora every once in a while as well And i'm way older then 14.. 23 And i will do a little research to see which browsers do what when clicking the wheel. For windows it's a.t.m.: - Firefox :: scroll - IE :: scroll - Opera :: scroll - Safari :: scroll For linux i will test: - Firefox :: no scroll (no need to test) - Opera - Epiphany - Konqueror - and perhaps a few others -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
