How To Do "ctrl-c" In Oz-gpe Terminal?
« on: October 15, 2005, 01:56:31 am »
Hello, I can't seem to find a way to hit "ctrl-c" in the terminal in gpe, and it's really annoying because I have things running that I can't stop so I have to shut down the terminal and then reload it completely.  I have a sl-5500.  If i do ctrl-c on the virtual keyboard it brings up the calender!

Also if I have more than one program open, (I must be missing something) I am unable to find a way to switch between the open programs.  You know, there should be some icons opened for each program in some taskbar, but I can't seem to find it.

Also, does anyone know to how simulate the middle mouse button?  I found that little mouse icon applet thingy, so that's what I use, but it's sort of difficult to use, and I wish there were a faster way.

Thank you,
Mitt

To switch between running apps use the title bar of the focussed app. This will give a list of open windows and the desktop.

As for Ctrl in the terminal, I wish I knew too!

As markk mention you can see open apps pressing title bar.

You have another method (slower than pressing the title bar)  If you minimize all aps (GPE-> Desktio) you have a special folder call "Active tasks". If you enter on this folder you will see your open apps.

As markk says, tap on the little arrow on the top left hand side in the window bar, then choose the app from the drop-down list.

Look at /etc/keymap* (iirc) and see what it's mapped to.

Ok thanks, I got switching between apps working.  I also got "ctrl-c" to work right after a fresh OZ/GPE flash, but then it stopped working shortly after I installed debian pocketworkstation, and now it opens up the calender instead.
