Me again.
Somebody already sent an OOo shortcut list. Now the "only " problem
left is that when I open the "Save As " window in OOo its lower half,
where I should enter the file name, format etc... is outside the
screen. Now I have to know how to say to fluxbox, using the keyboard
only, "grab this window and resize/move it up/left/etc.. "
man fluxbox only says "alt + button1 anywhere in window will move it ", but if I
could place the cursor in the window I wouldn 't be here...
TIA,
Marco
