[edit] Merge
I created this page as it presents a better layout and comparison between different desktop environments than List of common keyboard shortcuts. Most of it is adapted from the spreadsheet at http://people.mandriva.com/~fcrozat/shortcuts/shortcuts2.gnumeric.
- I think having the two separate pages is suboptimal, for the usual reasons. I think we should pick a presentation format and use it. I prefer the format of Table of keyboard shortcuts page. What do others think? --DragonHawk 01:24, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Moves keyboard focus to next/previous control"
So in web browsers this would be, move the cursor focus to the next form field/link, right? Well Tab/Shift+Tab (forward/back) do this in Windows, but not in GNOME as specified. I have no idea how to tab backwards in GNOME, it's driving me insane. 128.250.37.103 04:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible shortcuts
I recently discovered that Alt+Esc on WinXP sends the current window to the back (thus effectively cyclicly switching to the next window.) Should this be added to the table?--EnderA 07:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shift-Del
Shift-Del was removed by Tytrox as an alternative to ctrl+x
'(shift+del permanently deletes the file from memory bypassing recycle bin (on here it was listed as an alternative to ctrl+x "cut file to memory")'
while this is true for deleting files in windows, the action for this key states "Cut the selected area and store it in the clipboard"; it works the same as ctrl-x when editing text, images etc..
I have re-added Shift-Del, a small note/warning about files could be added, although i don't see this as dangerous since Windows will ask confirmation anyway before performing this action Skullers 17:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
"the action for this key states "Cut the selected area and store it in the clipboard"; it works the same as ctrl-x when editing text, images etc.." show me where on Windows that this is so, specifically where it states the description of the action. Tytrox 14:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
sry i meant that it's only different in the case of files, while the description in the table on this page says area, which is correct (in most cases same as ctrl-x). Skullers 04:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "symbol shortcuts"
The section about "symbol shortcuts" is confusing. It does not mention what OS it works with, and it is badly written. Unless someone improves it, I will remove it. Claesh1

[edit] Request for shortcuts for text-editing
would like to request someone add a table of shortcuts for text editing. For examp, in Mac applications (OS X, Cocoa API) that support text editing, usually support the minimal set of emacs conventions. e.g. Ctrl-f to move forward. Besides these set, Mac support some standard itself. e.g. opt-arrow to jump by word. opt-shift-arrow to jump by word while selecting. Xah Lee 10:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mac OS menu key shortcuts
The F10 key in Mac OS X gives keyboard focus to the menu bar where you can arrow around to the menus. I'd add it to the table but wtf that markup is unreadable —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No References
I apreciate that under the "See Also" Section, there is a list of some websites containing keyboard shortcuts, but I feel that references should be added to the article to verify that the shortcuts listed are correct, as I'm sure many people who read the article won't know if the data is correct.
The only problem that I can see with doing this is that pages would probably have to be found that list more than one keyboard shortcut, otherwise the reference section may become longer than the article itself! However I'm sure that this would be feasible to overcome if someone had the time and patience to find some good references.
On another minor note the "See Also" section contains external links, often in Wikipedia articles these are listed under "External Links", not "See Also".
Unless someone objects I feel that the above changes should be made. --Dave (talk) 23:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ctrl + Backspace / Ctrl + Del
They delete whole words (or, more precisely, until the next word beginning to the left/right) under WinXP, maybe elsewhere, too? Unfortunately it is not consistently available across applications/text field types; but in most/the important ones. Though it is not all generally available, I suggest adding it, as it is a total killer feature to me - I use it all the time (Ctrl + Backspace).
At least in one application, Ctrl+Del deletes not only until the next word beginning to the right, but until the end of the line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdiTor (talk • contribs) 21:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
