> 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.
