I don't have a clue why. I've always just accepted the default us keyboard. And from any other Linux I've tried, both Alt keys work the same. It's not a major burden as when I'm using both hands I normally would hit the modifier key(s) with one hand, and the action key with the other. But when I've only got one free hand it's hard to feed <Alt><Enter> to mc to copy a filename to mc's command line. And frankly that happens to be my most used mc shortcut... Hints anyone??? - - - - - - - - -< s n i p >- - - - - - - - - - Note: If it matters, Xubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) was installed from the alternate install CD on a Gateway laptop (MT6451 Notebook PC) It has AMD Turion 64x2 processors and a 120 gig HD... </blockquote></div> You don't happen to have selected US AltGr dead keys, or something along those lines? -- Vincent
