(that I didn't know) I guess it's always been easier to click on "start" -> "run" than think "What key combination was that again?" ;-) -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner

I get the terminal opened with the same user that started the Nautilus process. Cheers, Martin

I'll see if I can find it again.

Unfortunately, none of my desktop machines have keyboards with a Windows key. They are all using these great old heavy- duty keyboards with clickity keys that I stole from the dumpster at work about 15 years ago. They were tossing out a bunch of unix terminals that they didn't use any more and I snarfed up a bunch of the keyboards. I love 'em, they're built like tanks! I recently found a company on-line that makes new ones with a Windows key - I'll be in the market for one when my current ones break... which at this rate may not be for another ten years or so. |
