Hi Rolf, This might work for you: In your terminal go to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts... A panel will come up. To disable a shortcut click on the Shortcut Key entry for it until it says "New accelerator" and press Backspace. It should then say "Disabled". I hope this works. If you need any more help on this feel free to contact me directly. Jim Lewis 512-797-3049 http://jklewis.com <- my resume, Java games, and link to book are here.
