Set defaut app based on file extension?

How can I tell my desktop (fedora-23/xfce4) to use Emacs to open any file with a ".org" extension? Everything I've found on the internet seems to set an application based on mimetype but ".org" files are seen as "text/plain" (at least by the 'file' program) and I don't want to open all text fi

Ibus eating cntl-space key

In Emacs, the cntl-space key is important and I use it frequently. Because it conflicts with the use of cntl-space in Ibus to toggle Ibus on/off, I remapped alt-space to that function in Ibus. This worked well in Fedora-11 for several years and in Fedora-15 after I first installed it. It sto

Customized ibus/anthy shortcuts no longer work

My Ibus/Anthy IME (on Fedora 15) no longer honors the keyboard shortcut changes I made. A couple weeks ago I installed F15 and Ibus/Anthy and changed the keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the IME from Ctrl-Space to Alt-Space. It worked fine until a few days ago when I noticed it's reverted
