Hi All
I have recently upgraded to opensuse 12.1 and am using kde 4.7.2. In previous version I could keypress crtl+alt+F1 or any of the function keys to get various console screens. This was helpful if I wanted to take a quick glance at the system messages or if there was a problem with the desktop I could use the keypress combination to switch to a console, investigate and resolve.
Has this been removed by design and is there a way to get back to the former functionality? Perhaps it is just my system, I notice that despite the fact that F2 is listed as a short cut to renaming a file, when I press F2 nothing happens.
My apologies if this has already been discussed. I've just joined this list today.
Thanks Eddie Welcome to the list! :-)
I would say that it is your system - but what it is I cannot say. CTRL+ALT+F3, eg, works here, and I assume that the F2 you speak of refers to the F2 for renaming a file in Dolphin, right?, in which case this is also working perfectly.
The only qualification I make to my response is that at the moment I am using KDE4.7.3 to which I switched shortly after installing 12.1 but I do seem to remember that in the short time I did use the default 4.7.2 which comes with 12.1 all of the above also worked for me.
This may or not resolve your problem but at least it will give you an insight into some of the features of KDE:

Thanks. That's most informative. I'll check out my system. I use a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I wonder if there is some incompatibility. By the way, how can I switch/try out KDE 4.7.3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
