Cheers, maybe I'll do that! :)
Unless it is the same information as the link in MagicBananas reply under
here, then I think I'll just read that perhaps :p
I recommend the book "Introduction to the Command Line" on the FSF's web
shop. It is very easy to follow and has plenty of depth, and the
information in it is libre.
I don't recommend going to Amazon for books, and the practical
information in that book is probably proprietary.

Allright, I think I'll maybe a little bit with this :P
Thanks anyway. I'll have a look at this when I am ready.
Cheers:)

I've explained how I found it here, since it's more relevant to that thread:

Thanks for the tip!
Do you know if the same book is available from any other vendor than
Amazon?:)
...So, here is a great book to get you started on understanding all of these
things.

Okay, but what am I supposed to open in regard to editing keyboard shortcuts?
In the link that you guys linked it says:
"rc.xml
Tip: Custom keyboard shortcuts (keybindings) must be added to the section of
this file, and underneath the heading.
~/.config/openbox/rc.xml is the main
I don't understand where the .xml files are and how I change them.
Do I get to the files by typing something in the Terminal or do I locate them
somewhere.
Fire up your terminal
ls -- show files and folders
nano file.name -- edit
ctrl+x y enter -- save & exit
xml" opens an xml file and allows you to edit it. Editing via
Terminal may be too advanced for you right now, so I would just use a graphical
method. On Trisquel Mini the default text editor I think is LeafPad.

I see, but how do I actually change the text files then?
I don't understand where the .xml files are and how I change them.

I also noticed in the login-screen I can change different "desktops".
I can
That's a feature. If you need to see files copied, use switch -v for
"verbose".
Most commands, when successful, output nothing on the screen.
I see, thanks for helping me :)
So I tried now with the space between openbox and the "~", and nothing at all
happened. Nothing. Not an error message, not a warning. It just jumped to the
next line ready to receive another command like nothing had happened. :/
Indeed I did.
But now I get this though:
"cp missing destination file operand after '/etc/xdg/openbox~/.config/'
Try 'cp --help' for more information."
That's awesome! :)
Care to elaborate a little on how that is done? :)
I tried typing "$ cp -R /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config/" like the link you guys
provided says but then I got:
"cp: invalid option -- '/'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
I did that, but I didn't get much from that
I see, thanks :)

Trisquel Mini has LXDE that is built around Openbox. Openbox is configured
manually by editing xml files.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox#Configuration
Thank you very much for all the help and guiding. I think I'll stick to LXDE
until Trisquel 8 is all done. I'm not sure why, but my pc wouldn't install
Trisquel 7 regular, but Mini work.
So I think maybe I'll try to edit the .config file, that sounded interesting
and maybe I can learn
When you say it isn't helpful to edit the config file "since you can just do
that for openbox anyway", what do you mean by that? :)
Actually something of note: you can get "regular" Trisquel without
reinstalling by installing the "trisquel" and "trisquel-recommended"
packages. Do note, though, that doing this will cause both GNOME and LXDE
stuff to be in your menus, which might be slightly confusing before you get
used
Hm... it looks like xbindkeys is more complicated than I thought. Probably
not a good choice, then. Apparently it requires manually editing a config
file, which isn't helpful since you can just do that for Openbox anyway.
Here's what you really want:

Okay, LXDE doesn't have a GUI for editing keybindings. You have to edit a
config file.

similarly to how Trisquel Mini is a flavor of
Oh! Yeah! Thanks, pardon me, I was posting three-four questions at the same
time and was not able to keep up. Excuse me for that, I have learned to post
smarter from now on.
Anyway, thanks! :) much appreciated!
The "black screen" has a prompt. Type your user name and password to log in.
Once logged in, you have all the tools at your disposal.
'killall' -- kill all processes
'sudo shutdown -P now' -- shut down the computer
'sudo shutdown -r now' -- restart the computer (same as 'sudo reboot')
Cool! Task Manager worked :)
Although I was able to install xbindkeys, it seems I am not able to run it
either from the "run" in the main menu nor from the synapse.
Yes, that was the case :) But what am I supposed to do in the black screen
that appears when I press fn+ctrl+alt+f1 ?
Since you're actually on LXDE (not on GNOME as everyone, myself included, has
assumed), it's actually called "Task Manager" (more properly LXTask), not
"System Monitor". It's not included with Trisquel Mini by default; get it by
installing the "lxtask" package from Synaptic.
A quick search
I find it concerning that you need to shut down freezing programs so much ...
I'll just say that Trisquel is not Windows. So, they work completely
differently. That being said, you have way may more control over your
computer than in Windows. Pretty much if there is something you want your
You'll have to press fn+Ctrl+Option (Alt). On a Mac laptop keyboard, the
upper row F1, F2... is by default dedicated to brightness, sound (see the
caps & symbols on them). F1, F2 is only activated after pressing the 'fn'
button. At least, that is the case with my Macbook Air (currently
Allright! :) cheers m8
Thanks! I'll check it out :)
Thanks! :)
When I type "key" in Synapse the ondly option I get is "Keyboard and Mouse"
where the only things I can set are "Character repeat".
Also: In my preferences in the main menu I have the "Input Method", but that
doesn't seem to be it either.
No need to worry about being new, you'll get the hang of this!
I recommend you spend some time reading this manual: "How to Ask Questions
The Smart Way" (http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).
Please don't be offended by the title, it's a useful text and it will allow
you to get
No problem, and it is not irritating, but you can also use a search engine to
say find out more about the directives you are given, for instance try an

Yeah, whatever the DE (desktop environment) you should have 0
Xfce is a desktop environment, like Lxde (which is what you are using since
it's the default in Trisquel Mini).
Any desktop environment including Xfce, Gnome (the default in Trisquel 7),
MATE (the default in Trisquel 8), and Lxde should have a menu for setting
keybindings. However, it may

Trisquel Mini.
What and where is Xfce? And Main setting menu, are these available in
Trisquel Mini?
Cheers :) pardon me if all my questions seem really irritating, and maybe I'm
asking things several times.
As you were already been told, senor Greven, you will need to create a
keyboard shortcut and assign it the command 'xkill'.
For instance, on Xfce you go into the main setting menu -> Keyboard ->
Applications Shortcuts.
I have mine set to ctrl + alt + x
When I press this keyboard combo of
'Ah, cool! But what was I supposed to do in the black screen?
I see, problem is: when a program freezes, I can't access anything, that's
also a reason why I'm looking for keyboard access to these things:)
You can change the keyboard shortcuts under "Keyboard" in the system
settings. Perhaps that would be a good idea.
Though personally, I just open System Monitor from the menu and do what I
need. It's usually sufficient. I don't even know those commands MB suggested.
Hm, that doesn't work either :/
Okay, I wanted to access activity monitor for shutting down programs that
have frozen. Are there any way to do that?
Also, I would like to access some sort of activity monitor in general.
Thanks, good to know! I've hardly ever used virtual consoles, but remember
being stuck in one the first time :)
What exactly are you wanting to do with "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" ? In Trisquel 7
this gives you Shutdown related options.
Also, if yo udo press CTRL+ALT+F1 (which I'm guessing you might, just to try
it out), you can get back to the graphical interface with CTRL+ALT+F7 (F1
through F6 are all virtual consoles).
Finally, to access the function keys on an apple computer you must press the
"fn" key first as they
Try with "cmd" key instead of "alt".
"alt" should be mapped to "super"
Are there any possibilities on MacBook that you know of? As I am missing the
