> Right-click anywhere on the desktop or in Caja, hold that click, don't move
the mouse. In my setup (I tested with application font sizes 8 and 18), one
menu item will ALREADY be "selected" (visually prominent; what's the proper
word for this?), so your suggestion (right click and release immediately)
will lead to that item being "confirmed" (carried out; what's the proper word
for this?). In order to avoid such unwanted confirmation, one must be careful
not to release the right-click prematurely; if you move the pointer out of
the menu and then release, the menu will disappear; if you keep the pointer
in the menu and release, that item will get confirmed.
I can't reproduce this. When I right click on the desktop or Caja and
immediately release the menu pops up and remains there until I press Esc or
click elsewhere. No options get selected unless I then click on one.
> Opened Pluma, tried various key combinations (Shift+Space, Super+Space,
Alt+Shift etc.), each followed by pressing the key between T and U (i.e.
where German QWERTZ has a Z), as I expected any change from a German layout
to result in something other than Z. But I always only got Zs.
I went to Control Center -> Keyboard -> Layouts and clicked "Add", and added
a German layout. I then clicked "Options", went to "Switching to another
layout" and selected Ctrl+Shift. I then pressed Ctrl+Shift to switch from
English to German, and this is the behaviour of the "y" key on my QWERTY
keyboard:
y -> z
Shift+y -> Z
AltGr+y -> ←
AltGr+Shift+y -> ¥
Is this the correct behaviour? (Note that on keyboards like mine which do
not have a key labelled "AltGr", the right Alt key is usually AltGr.)
>> How are you locking the screen? Ctrl+Alt+L?
> No, via menu, also via panel thingy. Solved this by setting a password via
"Control Center" → "About me".
Okay, I think this is the expected behaviour. You can't have a lock screen
without a password to unlock it.
