Still doesn't fix my original problem, though. :) In the meantime, I have simply changed the relevant Eclipse bindings to Control-Alt-E, etc. On a side note, Evolution seems to capture Control-Shift-E (looks like schedule-a-meeting), unless keyboard focus is in a textual widget. Under the Gnome Keyboard Preferences, I also found the "Shift with numpad keys works as in MS Windows" option, which has been bugging me for months - I have a laptop and attached a USB number pad keyboard for my spreadsheet work, and the "shift-numpad4 yields 4 instead of selection-moves-left" was driving me nuts. The "Keyboard Preferences" help subheading "10.10.4 Keyboard Layout Options" refers to the "Keyboard Layout Switcher" manual, but I can't seem to find or even google it. Does anyone out there know where it lives? ta, Nigel.
