Hi, David,

Thanks for your suggestion of the "metacity --replace" for enabling the keyboard shortcut with which I have trouble. Once the command is given, the shortcut works as it should. How do I set metacity as my default window manager, and have the setting persist? Now, I have to give the command on each login. I'm running a thumb drive installation of Trisquel, in which orca settings and other files persist across sessions.


Thanks for your help,



Dave  Hunt

Hi! I suspect that shortcut works as desired when using the standard metacity window manager, but in compiz --which is default in supported hardware-- it is bound to another operation. You can easily change the window manager to metacity with the command (you can enter it at the Alt+F2 prompt) "metacity --replace" without the quotes, or by disabling desktop effects in gnome-appearance-properties's last tab.
