I am using RealVNC viewer on Windows. I sometimes find it very difficult to shift from VNC to Windows. I have to use F8 -> Minimize and then Alt + Tab. I wish I had more flexibility. Can the following key combinations be somehow enabled?
Win + D -> I see my Windows desktop.
Alt + Tab switches between VNC and Windows applications.
Ctrl + Tab switches between VNC subwindows.
I found two solutions:
1 (from: http://www.realvnc.com/products/viewerplus/1.0/docs/af1069655.html)
Configuring your keyboard
By default, and with the exception of CTRL-ALT-DELETE and the function
key used to open the shortcut menu, key presses affect the host
computer and not the client. To reverse this behavior for the
application-level keys listed below, turn off Pass special keys
directly to VNC Server. Note this property is on the Inputs tab.
Affected keys/combinations: WINDOWS (also known as START), PRINT
SCREEN, ALT-TAB, ALT-ESCAPE, CTRL-ESCAPE.
2 (from: http://www.physnet.uni-hamburg.de/physnet/vnc/winvncviewer.html)
Keystrokes such as Ctrl-Esc and Alt-Tab may be interpreted at the
local (viewer) machine. If you want to send them to the remote
machine, you can use the options on the viewer menu to send individual
Ctrl-down, Ctrl-up, Alt-down and Alt-up keystrokes. For example, to
type Ctrl-Esc on the remote machine, send Ctrl-down using the menu,
press Esc, and then send Ctrl-up (or just tap the Ctrl key) to release
the Ctrl key at the remote end.
I am running the Gnome Desktop on the VNC Server, so I followed these steps to implement the two solutions recommended by user1403360:
Turn off Viewer -> Options -> Inputs -> "Pass special keys directly to VNC Server" (i.e. parameter SendSpecialKeys=FALSE)
Alt+Tab will now switch between Windows applications
In Gnome Desktop -> Preferences -> KeyboardShortcuts, change "Move between windows using a popup window" => Ctrl+Tab
Ctrl+Tab will now switch between VNC sub-windows

Recently I installed Ubuntu and I've some troubles with typing text on terminal, the problems not occurs on the text editors. I can't select the text to right or left using shift+arrow. When I try it, like shift+left, D letter is typed on the line, and C is typed using shortcut with arrow right. Resuming, I've two issues:
Select text with shift+arrow not working;
Select all text with shift+home or shift+end
I installed KDE on Ubuntu. Please, anyone can help me?
The standard Terminal does not use the same shortcuts (or even the same cursor behavior) as you might expect in a browser or text editor window. The shift key by itself does not select text that way. shift+home will scroll to the top, shift+end to the bottom, and using it with pg up/pg down will scroll up/down one screen. The arrow keys are mapped to A/B/C/D.
As you can see on this list, most of the commands are for moving around and managing processes. I usually just select text with the mouse, then copy with ctrl+shift+c and paste with ctrl+shift+v. As discussed on Ask Ubuntu, there appears to be no easy way to select arbitrary text without the mouse.
Alternative terminal programs may offer more options.
Update While this is not a standard shortcut, you can go into Terminal's Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts, find the Edit section, click the Select All row in the Shortcut Key column, then enter a new shortcut like ctrl+shift+a. This new shortcut will then let you then copy all of the terminal text.

Fast screenshot
How to easily take screenshot of my screen in windows 10?
I would like to have option to select a part of my screen to take the screenshot.
I accidently found a easy way to take screenshot of my screen in windows 10.
Just hold Windows Logo Key + Shift Key + S
Than you can select what part of the screen you want to take the screenshot.
This will copy of a selected part to your clipboard and than you can simply past it in Paint, photoshop or any image app you want.
Thanks #Abhi
There are many other ways to do this as well:
1. Snipping Tool : Start > All Programs > Windows Accessories > Snipping Tool.
2. Windows Key + Print Screen : Windows Key + PrtScn.
You can take screensort by following ways:
1. Snipping Tool : Start > All Programs > Windows Accessories > Snipping Tool.
2. Windows Key + Print Screen : Windows Key + PrtScn.
3. Windows Key + H : Windows Key + H
4. Alt + Print Screen : Alt + PrtScn.
5. Windows Logo + Volume Down :hold down the Windows Logo touch button at the bottom of your Surface screen
Or you can easily use Windows key+fn+printscreen keys

It seems I'm unable to comment out blocks of code in Android Studio using the CTRL + SHIFT + 7 (on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro there's no Numpad and hence no / character on its own button).
Pressing the above combination creates a bookmark with the number 7 instead.
Does anyone know a workaround or am I just stuck with /* *\?
The problem is that the binding is to the main character on the key, which on your keyboard is 7, not /. As I commented before, you might want to try if pressing the Ctrl- works (that is the location of / on my US International keyboard).
Otherwise, I'd suggest you map it to another combination. I don't have Android Studio, but in IntelliJ IDEA (which has the same foundation as Android Studio) this can be configured under File, Settings, Keymap (Main Menu > Code > Comment with Line Comment) or just search for line comment.
Here is the / key on your Yoga 2 Pro Keyboard.
You can usually comment code by using Ctrl-/ or Ctrl-Shift-/
I will assume you have a keyboard driver installed that matches your keyboard.
The lowest symbol on left is the one you normally get when you press the key without also pressing any modifier key.
The symbol above that is the one you normally get when you press that key simultaneously with the Shift key.
The symbol to the right is the one you normally get when you press that key simultaneously with the Alt Gr (it is the Alt key on right hand side) key.
If you are talking about a laptop, and the third symbol is in an a different colour from the other marks on the key, usually in blue, then it is usually obtainable by pressing that key simultaneously with the FN key. See this link .
Example
In UK laptop keyboards we generally have three symbols on key 4 which are normally $ on top, 4 on bottom left and € on bottom right.
Only pressing 4 will simply print 4.
Pressing Shift + 4 will print $.
Pressing Alt Gr + 4 will pring €.
NOTE: All of the above is written with assumption that you have the proper keyboard drivers installed on your pc/laptop.

I recognize that Up/Down will give you the command history. But, how do you look at past output by scrolling up and down?
I have used Shift+Page Up/Page Down, Alt+Shift+Up/Down and Page Up/Page Down but none of these seem to work.
It is a Redhat Linux box.
SHIFT+Page Up and SHIFT+Page Down. If it doesn't work try this and then it should:
Go the terminal program, and make sure
Edit/Profile Preferences/Scrolling/Scrollback/Unlimited
is checked.
The exact location of this option might be somewhere different though, I see that you are using Redhat.
Shift+Fn+ UP or DOWN on a Macbook will allow you to scroll.
Alternative: you can use the less command.
Type in console:
"your_command" | less
This will allow you to scroll with the up and down arrow keys.
Basically your output has been piped with the less command.
ALTERNATIVE FOR LINE-BY-LINE SCROLLING
Ctrl + Shift + Up Arrow or Down Arrow
Unlike Shift + Page Up or Page Down, which scrolls the entire page, this will help with a smoother line-by-line scrolling, which is exactly what I was looking for.
SHIFT + Page Up and SHIFT + Page Down are the correct keys to operate on the linux (virtual) console, but vmware console doesn't have those terminal settings. The virtual console has fixed scroll back size, it sounds like it's limited to video memory size according to this Linux virtual console Scrolling behavior documentation.
Another alternative, that might be already installed on your system is to use GNU screen :
# This starts screen which adds basic window management in terminals
screen
# This starts the copy mode you can use to scroll
<CTRL-A> [
# Now use the arrows to scroll
# To exit copy mode, do
<ESC>
See man screen for much more useful options (multiple windows, ...)...
Shift Pageup/End works for me.
It seems as though this is not easily possible: The Arch Linux Wiki lists no way to do this on the console (while easily possible on the virtual terminal).
You could use tmux scrolling:
Ctrl-b then [ then you can use your normal navigation keys to scroll around (eg. Up Arrow or PgDn). Press q to quit scroll mode.
Alternatively you can press Ctrl-b PgUp to go directly into copy mode and scroll one page up (which is what it sounds like you will want most of the time)
VM Ubuntu on a Mac...fn + shift + up/down arrows
I ran into the same problem with VMWare workstation with Ubuntu guest, turns out VmWare doesn't support scrolling back up from the server view. What I did was to install x GUI, then run xterm from there. For some reason it runs the same, but lets you scroll the normal ways. Hope this helps future readers in VmWare virtual boxes.
In some VPS hostings (like linode) you have to click Ctrl+A and then ESC. Exit with double ESC too.
Fn + Up/Down can scroll Terminal in Mac OS X 10.11
Press the Shift key when scrolling the mouse up/down works for me when loggin in Ubuntu using Terminal ssh in Yosemite.
PERSISTENT, longterm solution
Add this line to your ~/.screenrc
termcapinfo xterm* ti#:te#
Now you can create a screen, and scroll it up/down with your mouse;
Like you normally do.
For some commands, such as mtr + (plus) and - (minus) work to scroll up and down.

I have a Logitech keyboard (Ultra-Flat Keyboard Dark Shine to be exact), which has the context menu key in the middle of the windows and alt key, which is quite annoying.
Here's a screenshot of where the key is:
http://freshlog.com/grabs/ff532-How_do_I_remap_the_context_menu_key_in_Mac_OS_X
I can remap the windows and alt keys under the default Keyboard System Preferences Panel, but there doesn't seem to be a way to remap the context menu key.
Any ideas?
Use KeyRemap4MacBook (Karabiner for osx 10.9, 10.10). As Mecki pointed out, XML .keylayouts / Ukelele can't solve your problem.
In spite of the name, KeyRemap4MacBook works on any Mac (OS X 10.4 or later).
The settings you want are under "For PC Users" » "Change PC Application Key".
Use KeyRemap4Macbook. Edit private.xml file like this:
<item>
<name>Change Windows context menu key to Right option key</name>
<identifier>private.win_context_menu_option_key</identifier>
<autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::PC_APPLICATION, KeyCode::OPTION_R</autogen>
</item>
This code will remap right option key to the context menu key.
You can use Karabiner to map App to Command+Option:
You can then use Keyboard Maestro to map Command+Option+Letter, where Letter is a key that denotes an application, to focus the application:
For example, you can then do App+C to focus Chrome, App+T to focus Terminal, App+S to focus Slack etc. (if an app isn't already open, Keyboard Maestro opens it first).
If you're using a generic keyboard, then you have a dedicated App key:
If you're using an Apple keyboard, you have to hold Command and Option, but they are next to each other, and appear on both sides of the spacebar:
Keep in mind that OS X already uses Command+Option+Esc to open the Force Quit Applications dialogue, so you could now use App+Esc for that. Likewise, OS X uses Command+Option+W to close all of the windows in the focus application (tabs in Chrome).
Notes:
Karabiner is an open source kernel extension for modifying the way keyboard input is handled by OS X.
Keyboard Maestro is a proprietary application for creating keyboard shortcuts in OS X. It has a free 30 day trial, and costs $36.
The latest MacOS versions are served by Karabiner Elements 12.1.
Key-to-key remapping are done in the Simple Modifications tab and conveniently selected in 2 rows of drop-down-menus (see: screenshot).
Complex Modifications in this Preferences Panel's tab have either to be added by importing them from the internet (Karabiner-E.'s site) or from the user's ~/.config/karabiner/assets/ complex_modifications folder.
"Complex" ones from the net actually are also copied there and switched "on" (= [+ Enable]) in the tab.
ALL modifications are finally stored (& thus "activated") in ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json.
A pragmatic procedure (that also helps avoid mistakes while writing complex-mods yourself) is to copy & rename & alter one "imported" mod.
Once you are experienced (e.g.: different bracket types) it may be easier to edit the json file directly…
There is no longer the option to constrict remaps to specific windows (can be simulated by an osascript AppleScript) as some other features.
A non-Element version of Karabiner is being developed.

Entry: For PC Users -> Change PC Application Key -> Application Key to Option_L
Unfortunately the latest macOS Sierra doesn't support Karabiner yet. An easy solution is to convert capslock key with command key.
