 Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 5:39 pm Post subject: GNOME Keyboard Shortcuts |
 |
|
I was reading planet.gnome.org today, and came across this nice little post by MurrayC: | Quote: |
I started a little list of really useful GNOME keyboard shortcuts for GNOME 2.6. Maybe there's one or two more. There's already a full list for accessibility, linked there, but that has a lot of stuff that most users don't need. I remember real MacOS Classic users liking these kinds of things. Maybe we could put something like this in a Help menu. |
Here's the list for the forums: | Code: |
General GNOME Shortcuts (The Metacity window manager):
Show the desktop Control-Alt-D
Switch application Alt-Tab
Move to next workspace Control-Alt-Right
Move to previous workspace Control-Alt-Left
Open the Applications menu Alt-F1
Move Current Window to next workspace Shift-Alt-Right
Move Current Window to previous workspace Shift-Alt-Left
File Management Shortcuts (Nautilus)
Select an item Up, Down
Open an item Alt-Down, or Enter
Open the parent folder Alt-Up
Open an item, and close the current folder Shift-Alt-Down
Open the parent folder, and close the current folder Shift-Alt-Up
Close all parent folders Shift-Control-W
Open a location by entering a path or URL Control-L
Alert Dialogs
Select the default button Return
Cancel and close the dialog Escape
Text Boxes
Go to the start of the word Control-Left
Go to the end of the word Control-Right
Go to the start of the line Home
Go to the end of the line End
(Hold down Shift at the same time to select the text)
Select all text Control-A
Application Shortcuts (Most applications should support these)
Open a document Control-O
Create a new document Control-N
Save the document Control-S
Quit Application Control-Q
Help F1
Tab Shortcuts (Most applications with tabs support these)
New tab Control-T
Next tab Control-Page Up
Previous tab Control-Page Down
Tab number 1, 2, 3,... Alt-1, Alt-2, Alt-3,...
Others (these are not really shortcuts, but they are useful anyway)
Drag and Drop (These might just be for Nautilus. But some are generic drag modifiers, I think. murrayc)
Normal Drag Moves the item
Drag + Control Copies the item
Drag + Alt-Control-Shift Links the item
Drag + Alt Shows a menu with a choice of copy, move, or link (Or do a normal drag with the middle mouse button)
Other Things that I think are either too rarely used to go here - for which there is little benefit in using the keyboard instead of the mouse - involve the command-line too much.
Close current window/tab Control-W
Run a command Alt-F2
Switch between panels and Desktop Control-Alt-Tab
Move window without selecting the title bar Alt-drag (on any area of the window)
