When using the X-Terminal with root access enabled, be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS! Root access enables you to modify (and thus also DAMAGE) all system files, which can even result in BRICKING the device. If you don't know what you are doing, better don't do it.
backup files before editing from console: cp filename.conf filename.conf.bak mc commander leadpad (launch from root console) root mode (sudo gainroot or ssh -lroot)

Add Reboot Option
cat /var/lib/dsme/boot_count Increases by 3 each reboot? then make sure to shutdown and only then boot (all this without being connected to a power source) before it reaches 48 (at 51 you're device won't boot!)
/ect/systemui/ folder and select the systemui.xml file
Uncomment MenuSelection for Reboot
1) Open X terminal as root
2) cd /etc/systemui
3) Make a backup of the systemui file: cp systemui.xml systemui.xml.orig
3) Edit the file in any editor, e.g. vi systemui.xml
You need to make this section: Code:
<!-- <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot"> <return>6</return> <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po> </menuitem> <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff"> <return>7</return> <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po> </menuitem> <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm"> <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true"> <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument> </callback> </menuitem> -->
look like:
<menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot"> <return>6</return> <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po> </menuitem> <!-- <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff"> <return>7</return> <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po> </menuitem> <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm"> <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true"> <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument> </callback> </menuitem> -->
Keyboard
how to swap the Fn and Shift keys
This makes the shift key behave as FN. Edit the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 find:
key <LFSH> { type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [ Shift_L ] }; modifier_map Shift { Shift_L };
Replace LFSH with RALT. This makes FN behave like shift. find
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
remove line, and replace it with:
key <LFSH> { type[Group1]="ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [ ISO_Level3_Shift ] }; modifier_map Mod5 { ISO_Level3_Shift };
After editing rx-51, use the command "setxkbmap" in xterm to activate it.
extended keyboard shortcuts MOD
1. download this file, remove '3' from filename. http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hildon_desktop3 cd /home/user/MyDocs [enter] chmod a+x hildon-desktop [enter] mv /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch.org [enter] mv hildon-desktop /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch [enter]
Install dbus-scripts (from extras-devel).
5. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk-scripts to /etc/dbus-scripts.d
6. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk to /usr/local/bin (making sure it is executable)
<shift><ctrl>H takes you to home screen. LEFT and RIGHT keys change desktops <shift><ctrl>f launches FBreader <shift><ctrl>b opens a new browser window, and a few other shortcuts.
- in the application menu (launcher) and window switcher:
q - selects the top left thumbnail/icon w - selects the top, second from left ... a - selects the left of the second row
And so on. In addition, in the window switcher pressing shift or FN together with the letter closes the window instead of moving to it.
Currently configuring shortcuts is by editing the python script /usr/local/bin/ hdk. Code Source: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/ Cite: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38314
