URGENT: broken mouse, stuck cursor.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

this is as embarassing as true. Please help

I have a Red Hat 9 PC running the fluxbox window manager: right now I
have open:

     OpenOffice 1.0.2
     mutt
     one xterm

OOo is open on a just finished report which I absolutely HAVE to
convert to .doc format, spell check and email to a coworker before he
goes on the plane, ie in a few hours.

The mouse just died on me. The cursor is on the far left of the root
window, and will move only vertically. I'm trying to clean it but it
won't listen. I can move from window to window with <ALT>+<TAB>, but I
can't access the the fluxbox menus, or, above all, the OOo ones.

I'm going to smash the mouse with my feet if I can't spell check and
convert that file really soon.

Is there any kind soul who would mail me some pure text version of all
the OOo keyboard shortcuts, and/or explain how to close the OOo file
dialog window (which also went partially off screen, so I can't even
see the buttons..., let alone move it) via keyboard?

Same for fluxbox: how to move/resize/close windows via keyboard only.

I'd use Google, if I only could start mozilla and push its buttons...

TIA,
	Tired and exhasperated Marco
