Help! My ALT key has been hijacked!
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2020 8:59 pm
Since M$ discontinued support for W7 I retired my old Macbook laptop rather than pay the window tax to "upgrade". But now I have need of the old beast, so I just installed Ubuntu, Wine and QPC2 on it. To all appearances, everything in QPC2 works like under W7 - except that Linux, X11 (or whatever) or Gnome or Wine have hijacked many of the ALT key combinations Im addicted to, so I cant work properly.
Does anyone know how to fix this bloody nuisance? I only have a cursory acquaintance with Linux (although a very long and fraught one) so any explanations need to be detailed and clear, please.
This computer is also capable of running Mac OS. If the worst came to the worst I guess I could always re-install that when I get home. But wont it just end up presenting with the same malady? I gather Mac OS is just a sexed up version of Linux and the Mac version of QPC2 also relies on Wine..
TIA
