I just installed Linux Mint 15 mate, and the menu crashed so I closed it. Now, the menu doesn't appear in the bottom left of the screen and I can't pull it up by pressing the Windows key. How do I restart the menu? Is there a terminal command for it? I tried restarting, expecting it to automatically load, but it didn't work.
Right click on your panel and choose add applets to panel select menu

Iʼm running VSCode on Linux. Its window contains menu bar (usual style: File, Edit, ..., Help) which is accessible only with the mouse. I havenʼt managed to find a shortcut to select a menu item or even the whole menu bar. This differs from Windows where this menu is controllable using regular Windows style (Alt+F for File, etc.)
Is there a shortcut to go to the menu bar or its item? What is its name, if present?
Linux = Ubuntu 20.04+KDE, freshly updated.
VSCode = 1.68.1 (latest today) from Ubuntu snap (stable channel).
It works well for me (Ubuntu: 20.04.4 LTS, VSCode: 1.68.0) and it is supposed to work in the same way for Linux or Windows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts.
What happen when you press Alt? Can it select the menu bar?
I have Debian 9 with GNOME 3.22.2.
I want minimize all windows with super+D shortcut keyboard. This command working in Ubuntu 18.04 but not working in Debian. I wanted to add keyboard shortcut to custom shortcut, but i did not know the command to add it.
Hide all normal windows inactive by default in Debian 9, I found it in keyboard shortcut list in navigation section and set Super+D shortcut.
I have qpdfview installed on linuxmint 18.The app doesn't show titlebar and is always in fullscreen(f11) mode.there is no max/minnimize or close buttons nor the taskbar.I am not able to have a floating window.
The reason this happened was once I pressed and holded the f11 button for a few seconds and then from then the titlebar was gone.
I uninstalled the software cleaned the directories then reinsatlled a few times but still the same result.

Then I observed this unusual output for wmctrl -l command

If this issue is related to qpdfview, try to check the local configuration file:
qpdfview uses a configuration file usually located at
"~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf",
which allows configuration of the toolbars and thumbnails.
look for something that uses fullscreen or no borders
If this is not working or its system wide, check the compositing options of your desktop environment

I've just re-installed Git on my Win10 PC and tried to pin Git Bash to my taskbar.
For some reason now, when I open Bash from my taskbar shortcut, it displays duplicate icon on the taskbar. I tried to pin that icon but once I end the terminal session, that shortcut is deleted. I've tried multiple Win10 sites but most just say to repin the new icon.
Prior to updating I could pin it fine with no issues.
I did this for Windows 7:
Make sure there was no other (older) Git Bash appearing in Start Menu
Remove any existing pinned Git Bash from Taskbar
Launch Git Bash
Pin this launched window to Taskbar (instead of the one appearing in Start Menu)
In my case, launching git-bash.exe and pinning the result produced a shortcut to cmd.exe with no arguments, which just opened a regular command window. Creating a shortcut to git-bash.exe directly (either manually, or by pinning the existing Start Menu shortcut) caused the opened window to be separate from the pinned item.
What worked in my case (more manual):
Create a shortcut to this command: %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login
(Optional) "Change Icon...", then select the git-bash.exe location (one directory up from bash.exe), and click the icon selection area for the icon to show up and to select it.
Update the "Start in" value to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
Pinning the git-bash.exe fixed the problem for me. This also fixed the problem with broken icon graphic.
NOTE! This was on Windows 7 - haven't tested on Win10!
Open Windows Explorer.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Git.
Right click git-bash.exe, select Pin to Taskbar.
Shift-right click the newly pinned icon, select Properties.
Add to the end of the field Target: --cd-to-home
Set the value of the field Start in: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
Press OK.
NOTE! This was on Windows 10
I don't know how it works but open the git-bash.exe file and pin the opened file on the taskbar
Do not pin the program which is not opened or else it wont work
None of the other solutions worked for me so here's what I did on Windows 10:
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Git
Right click on git-bash.exe
Right click on it and select Pin to Taskbar. This creates the first taskbar item.
Run git bash by clicking on the taskbar item. This creates the second taskbar item.
Pin the second taskbar item.
Open the properties (right click on the icon -> right click on the app name -> properties) of the second taskbar item and fix them:
Set Target to "C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe" --cd-to-home
Set Start in to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
Change the icon... Go to C:\Program Files\Git\ and select git-bash.exe and the icon.
Close the properties window and unpin the first taskbar item.
I have faced this problem. Here is a tried and tested solution. Very easy. Out of the 2 icons that you see, right-click on the inactive icon and do Unpin from taskbar. Then click on the active icon and do Pin to taskbar.
It's easy for Windows 10.
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Git
Select git bash
Select the 'Manage' option which appears under the field in purple 'Application Tools'
Select the 'Pin to Taskbar' option which shows on the far left
I'm using InstallShield 2012 Pro, and I want to create a shortcut to my program on the Windows 8 Start Screen. Where do I put my shortcut?
I placed the shortcut in the Programs Menu folder and its not working, Here's a screen shot of where I'm putting the shortcut.
Anywhere that previously showed up in the start menu (except maybe the Startup folder) is flattened into the Windows 8 start screen. So place your shortcut somewhere under ProgramMenuFolder and you're good to go. I would suggest still following the usual conventions so that it shows up in something like [ProgramMenuFolder]\Company Name\Program Name on a machine with the start menu, because even if you limit your program to Windows 8 and later, there's no predicting which way Microsoft will go next.
