- | * A few gconf keys affect the operation of hildon-desktop | + | * A few gconf keys affect the operation of hildon-desktop: |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/home_contacts_phone<br /> If the value ofthis key is false, the phones and contacts applications will not be called when a key is pressed while in the home screen. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace<br /> If the value of this key is false then ctrl-backspace is free for applications to use, instead of the default behaviour of jumping to task navigator. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/preset_shift_ctrl<br /> If the value of this key is true, ctrl-shift-x opens an xterm, ctrl-shift-p saves an image of the screen, ctrl-shift-n toggles composite mode and ctrl-shift-h jumps to home screen. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_shift_ctrl<br /> If the value of this key is true, then ctrl-shift-letter combinations are reported on the d-bus, allowing implementation of global shortcut keys. H,N,P,X are reported on the dbus only if the previous key is false. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/launcher_navigator_accel<br /> If the value of this is true, icons in the launcher and task navigator can be selected by pressing corresponding keys:<br />In the task navigator, if the letter is pressed with shift or FN, the corresponding task is closed, instead of switched to.<br />Examples of how the key work: |
*** q selects leftmost icon in top row. | *** q selects leftmost icon in top row. | ||
*** w selects second icon from left in top row. | *** w selects second icon from left in top row. | ||
Line 19: | Line 17: | ||
*** z selects leftmost icon in third row. | *** z selects leftmost icon in third row. | ||
*** v selects fourth icon from left in the third row. | *** v selects fourth icon from left in the third row. | ||
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_launcher_navigator<br /> If the value of this key is true, a press of a letter key while in task navigator or launcher is reported on the d-bus. If the previous key is true, only letters not corresponding to icons are reported. If home_contacts_phone key is false, then also keys pressed while in home screen are reported. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav<br /> The action when ctrl+backspace is pressed while the task navigator is showing is controlled by this integer key: |
**# Go to home screen. | **# Go to home screen. | ||
**# Go to launcher. | **# Go to launcher. | ||

**# ctrl+backspace behaves like alt-tab on desktop (at least on KDE). While ctrl is pressed, every press of backspace rotates the windows. When ctrl is released, the selected (top left) window is activated. | **# ctrl+backspace behaves like alt-tab on desktop (at least on KDE).

*** Any other value - do nothing. | *** Any other value - do nothing. | ||
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_ctrl_shortcuts<br /> If this key is true, hildon desktop captures and reports on D-Bus the following combinations: ctrl+space, ctrl+comma, ctrl+period, ctrl+volume+/-. This conflicts with other uses for some of these combinations. |
- | ** | + | ** /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_shortcuts_use_fn<br /> use ctrl+FN+key instead of ctrl+shift+key for D-Bus shortcuts. This is much easier to press, but conflicts with FN+ctrl for opening special keys window. |
