Minor problem: Alt-Tab broken

Posted by: Administrator on July 07, 2004 03:33 AM
When I first installed FC2, Alt-Tab only worked with the Left-Alt button. In earlier versions, one could use either the right Alt or left Alt when switching between windows.


I found this <A HREF="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122752" title="redhat.com">bug report</a redhat.com> which describes the problem and offers a temporary solution. The quick and dirty solution is to run:

<TT>xmodmap -e "add mod1 = Alt_R"</TT>


from a terminal window from within an X windows session. As for a permanent solution, I haven't found one yet. Any suggestions?
