At the beginning of the shortcuts chapter, in the manual, it is already mentioned the problems of the Alt key on some DEs. Do you think it is better to deepen/clarify?
I'd point out somehow like so. In Cinelerra-GG a lot of shortcuts are defined for various operations. Although it is quite possible to do everything with the mouse, the extensive use of shortcuts can make the editing process much more convenient and efficient. However, with so large variety of shortcuts it is not uncommon that some of them may interfere with assignments of the same shortcuts to the user's desktop environment, keyboard language switcher, etc. For example, the Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Tab shortcuts are commonly assigned to switch between different desktop applications, and if so, these keystrokes will not be available to Cinelerra-GG. When having problems with some shortcut in Cinelerra-GG, it is recommended firstly to examine which set of shortcuts is assigned to the desktop environment and, if necessary, resolve conflict. A special X11 application `xev' can also help to test the keystrokes functionality (see man xev). Otherwise, Cinelerra-GG is completely desktop-neutral and has no requirements of some special window manager's support. So could be the meaning, you can express this in English definitely better than me. _______________________________________________________________________________ Georgy Salnikov NMR Group Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry Lavrentjeva, 9, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia Phone +7-383-3307864 Email [email protected] _______________________________________________________________________________
