When I try to set the default combo for switching to different language layouts in my keyboard from Shift+Super+Space to Alt+Shift I can't.
I used to have this combo since Ubuntu 14 and even before that when I used to have Windows. Now for some stupid reason it does not allow (actually nothing happens its not like I get an error or the combo is used elsewhere). How could I bypass this bug?
I am looking for a clean and fast method to force GNOME in Ubuntu 14.04 to switch between active apps only on the current workspace when pressing the shortcut alt + tab.
I am very new to Ubuntu, and I'm having a problem that I don't know how to get it fixed. I even tried looking it up on the web for answers, but maybe I don't know the right terms to search for it.
I work with IntelliJ IDEA, an application for development. And I am very used to the keyboard shortcuts, but when I made the switching from Windows XP to Ubuntu 13.10, some shortcuts don't work anymore. For example, such as;
Is there any reason as to why? and are there any fix for this? Or maybe just something to guide me on my searching
Thank you all very much in advance.
A number of games, Emacs, and the terminal make extensive use of the Alt key. Can Unity be configured to respect this key, rather than launching the HUD with it?
I know that using Alt+F7, I can use the keyboard to move the window around. I can also use the "Grid" plugin of Compiz to position quickly the window around my current monitor. The grid plugin doesn't seem work across monitor however.
What I need is a quicker way to move the current window to the other screen. In my current dual-monitor setup, I find myself needing to move the focus window to the other monitor as I focus on working on something else (and move it back afterward).
If I use XMonad (or other tiling managers), this would be rather easy. However, many applications that I use (Gnome Do, MATLAB, image viewers, custom apps that I write, ...) do not work well with a tiling manager.
So my question is: is there a shortcut key combination that moves the currently focused window to the other monitor (and back)?
