Keyboard shortcuts stopped working in Scarthgap 6.5.4.2.1

Post by szept »

I used to make to keyboard shortcuts which I use very often:

  • F2 for renaming file

  • Del for deletion instead of Ctrl+x

However in my brand new Scarthgap 6.5.4.2 I get this message:

Please translate it to plain English for me...

Thanks! :)

For me.... THE EASIER THE BEST.-

MENU- DESKTOP.- EASY JWM configure jwm.

At the bottom right, a button MANAGE JWM keyboard shortcuts

CONFIGURE THEM THE WAY YOU WANT.

Faster and without difficulties...haha

this may work when using rox...
on terminal: geany /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/menus2 look for delete in geany editor, then remove the semicolon at the start of the line, do the same for rename, save and reboot.

But how this supposed to work? What's the action phrase? "Rename" don't work... Haven't tried "delete" yet.

This looks quite complicated... Isn't there a way to do it via Folder Options as I show in the first post?

P.S.
What are the shortcuts for Terminal and File Manager? Where can I find a full list of shortcuts?

Ok, but what do they mean?

I can see Rename, but what does it tell me?
; (gtk_accel_path "<filer>/File/Rename..." "")
Is that a key name code? How to set Rename to F2?

Awesome! F2 for rename working via /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/menus2

Now I'm trying to figure out what's the code-name for Delete as delete not working... Is it case sensitive?

Ok, AI suggested to check the key-code via xev! It's Delete!
