Personally nothing but when I look at it I wonder if the big bang could actually have been a white hole.

I always just remapped it to the super button, and most applications actually automatically map it to the super button.

I use my context menu key as the chording key to control any keyboard macro profiles, so that I can terminate, reload, summon for editing or summon a help file as needed.

I have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that's easier to press

It is a component of the keyboard shortcuts I use to swap between virtual desktops and snap windows to the left/right side.

Meta+T opens a terminal about once every 5 minutes on my machine.

System shortcut with combination of other keys to mainly switch between virtual desktops, open terminal, open MangoHUD config file and some more

Left: start/stop playing music via xmms2

Right: open a zenity file selector to load music into xmms2

I use "PrintScreen" for that ....

how many times have you torn a muscle attached to your right pinky?

[-] HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, it's not that bad. I use UK international with AltGr to type English, program code, and German. I don't use the Compose key so often. Just for some extra symbols like Greek alpha or ° C.

That explains. I write in 5 languages :)

Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

for xmonad commands. also windows-p is dmenu.

  • Meta by itself just opens the launcher thingy in KDE so I can search for an app.
  • Meta + T = Open terminal
  • Meta + E = Open Dolphin (this is a Windows holdover, Meta + E opened Explorer but it's kind of hard-coded into my brain now)
  • Meta + F = Open Firefox

I think that's all of them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
