Hello
I have a small keyboard that do not have any Alt key, do you know an other way to switch terminal in init 3 mode (no X)?
thanks jdd
You could run screen or tmux - both achieve similar things in a different way; screen allows you to create multiple "virtual terminals" without needing the alt key, and you can also detach a screen session, leave it running in the background (even when the user is logged off) and re-attach to it later (or even remotely, via ssh). Tmux allows you to create a split window with multiple console sessions (almost as many as you can view on your screen, perhaps more) with vertical or horizontal splits or a combination of both. Very useful when you want to monitor one process while you continue working on another. Both are lightweight, and IIR correctly neither require the alt key to be usable - only the Ctrl key. If you have that, you're set. No need to mess around with custom key bindings, either. Of course, if you want to go through that learning exercise, that's not a bad thing either. :) -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
