To open Terminal on Linux with keyboard is Ctrl + Alt + T
Saying that CTRL+ALT+T opens a terminal on Linux overstates the case, and I don't think it's helpful to those who may be unamiliar with it. A Linux box might not even run a GUI, in which case probably all you will have available is a console - or maybe just SSH access, like the vast majority of boxes around here which are headless. *Some* of the GUI/desktop thingies supplied with *some* popular distributions of Linux may use that key combination to start *some* kind of a terminal window, for example an 'xterm'. See for example https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/9ug1vd/is_ctrl_alt_t_the_terminal_shortcut_on_most/ Most of these things allow the user to change the key bindings. FVWM2 is my usual window manager. With my personal shortcut keys loaded, ALT+9 starts an xterm in a new window. In an emacs window, CTRL+ALT+T inserts the character '\224' (but ALT+9 still starts a new xterm. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
