Hi,

I checked the keyboard shortcuts, but I can't find how to go back to the previous page either in mozilla or in the file manager ("explorer).

I saw there are custom shortcuts available but it requires me to writethe command and I checked quickly on google, I can't find the right terms to find what i need...


So what is the command please ? I'd like to press "backspace/erase" like in windows or in zorin lite, and being able to go back to the previous page.


ty :P

Ctrl+ left cursor (arrow) key - back; Ctrl+ right cursor (arrow) key! :D

When i press Ctrl + left arrow it just select a file on the left.

In this menu

I'd like to make a custom shortcut with the right command input/entry or whatever it's called. I don't know what to type there :

This is the custom shortcut window !


(If you have a list of all useful commands to assign a shortcut to)


PS : I may not be clear enough but I don't find the right words :x

Sorry friend, I thought you were referring to web browsing as you mentionded Mozilla (Firefox I assumed!).
Can't check right now as on lunch break and not on Zorin! :D

OK in explorer I have used Alt+ Left Cursor (Arrow) and Alt+ Right Cursor (Arrow) - if this is not what you want, please advise. :D

It works. Thank you, 50% of this tiny "problem" solved :P
Although the shortcut you mentioned for firefox doesn't work, but the newest one (alt + arrow) works too :P

But can I change it to another key ? (the key upside Enter, erase I guess)
I checked in the shortcuts parameters but this shortcut isn't listed, so i cannot change it.

Hi, I am not sure if it is possible or not to modify key settings in 'dConf Editor' - if it is not installed, open a terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools


It will place 'dConf Editor' launcher under 'System Tools' - a bit like Windows Registry in layout - not sure where you would go to edit this to be honest!

Thank you for this, but it is not listed here :x
However I put the Super Key to "show desktop" :) thanks to this

I tried to search all entries in this and even ['<Alt>Left'] but it's not here :x
I use this "backward" hotkey since 1998 on windows xD that's why I'd like to change it

And what is "wm" ?

From memory "wm' is windows management - how windows appear and how they act/react (I think!)
