Using the Apple keyboard under Linux
I recently got one of those razor-thin scifi-looking Apple keyboards for my machine at work. In order to make it more like my laptop, I swapped around some of the button mappings and reworked a few of my KDE shortcuts. Here is exactly what I did:
The content of my ~/.Xmodmap file:
clear mod1 keycode 115 = Alt_L keycode 64 = Meta_L keycode 116 = Alt_R keycode 113 = Meta_R add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R add mod4 = Meta_L Meta_R
KDE keyboard mappings for closing and minimizing windows:
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Baghira KDE window theme (less for aesthetics, more because I wanted the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the left hand side of the titlebar, as that is what I'm used to):
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
The SwitfTabs extension for Firefox, configured for tab switching and tab closing:
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
TODO: Need to find a good way to make Firefox open a new tab with Command-T rather than Ctrl-T
