GNOME Configuration

Mar 31, 2007 14:20


Dear Lazyweb, I want to set up GNOME 2.18 like this:

  1. the close button on windows in the top-left corner instead of the top right

  2. a "shade" or "rollup" button on windows

  3. my Kensington Expert Mouse (a trackball, confusingly) buttons like this:
    • bottom-right: click (my thumb, I use it left-handed despite being right-handed)
    • bottom-left: contextual menu, like the secondary button
    • top-left: double-click
    • top-right: don't really care, but click & hold is good

  4. keyboard modifiers like this:
    • the "Super" key ("Windows" or "Command" key) to be the keyboard/menu shortcut key, instead of "Ctrl"; in fact all shortcuts to include "Super" or function keys
    • unmodified, "Shift", "Alt", and "Shift-Alt" on non-function keys for text characters, "Alt" for unusual characters such as accents
    • "Ctrl" to still send the correct codes to a terminal

  5. new terminal windows to be 100×50

I know KDE can do some of this...
