minus-squarelemmyvorelinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-22 years agoSometimes a key gets bound in all regular modifiers so you really need another one. For example I use Super+F for fullscreen because Ctrl+F, Alt+F and Ctrl+Alt+F are all taken in this or that program. Oh and btw the right-hand Alt is usually AltGr not regular Alt for non-English countries, it’s used for composing diacritics.
