Hello,
this is as embarassing as true. Please help
I have a Red Hat 9 PC running the fluxbox window manager: right now I
have open:
OpenOffice 1.0.2
mutt
one xterm
OOo is open on a just finished report which I absolutely HAVE to
convert to .doc format, spell check and email to a coworker before he
goes on the plane, ie in a few hours.
The mouse just died on me. The cursor is on the far left of the root
window, and will move only vertically. I 'm trying to clean it but it
won 't listen. I can move from window to window with <ALT >+ <TAB >, but I
can 't access the the fluxbox menus, or, above all, the OOo ones.
I 'm going to smash the mouse with my feet if I can 't spell check and
convert that file really soon.
Is there any kind soul who would mail me some pure text version of all
the OOo keyboard shortcuts, and/or explain how to close the OOo file
dialog window (which also went partially off screen, so I can 't even
see the buttons..., let alone move it) via keyboard?
Same for fluxbox: how to move/resize/close windows via keyboard only.
I 'd use Google, if I only could start mozilla and push its buttons...
TIA,
Tired and exhasperated Marco
