Window focus vs. raising

I am fairly new to Gnome. One feature that I have been unable to find is
 how to raise one window on the desktop but leave keyboard focus with
another. In the documentation all I find talks about 'selecting' a
window which then implies both giving focus and raising the window.

Is there any way to make a distinction ?

gnome-terminal and F1

gnome-terminal 2.18.3 currently captures the F1 event which will run up
yelp with the documentation for gnome terminal.

In previous versions (<= 2.16 ?) I was able to deactivate this catch,
so that for example F1 when having mutt in the terminal displayed the
mutt help manual. 

This seems not to be possible anymore with gnome-terminal 2.18, any
hint?

I have a similiar problem with a telnet session, the
<Control>+<altgr>+"+" (which should correspond to <control>-"]" in my
keyboard) is captured and will result in the increase of the font size
used by the terminal, so that the only way that I know to terminate
the telnet session is to kill the window/telnet process.

A better design of the whole stuff would consider the use of a
modifier key (e.g the menu key present in most keywords) choosable by
the user which could be used to send all the event to the terminal,
rather than stealing out events meant to be sent to the application
running in the terminal.

For example I configured my windown manager (sawfish) so that it now
uses combination of super (the window key) for every WM command, in
this way I don't have any conflicts with applications keybindings.

Since the special nature of the gnome-terminal application, this would
seem to me a reasonable approach. I'd like to know the opinion of
other users/devs.

Just edit the keybindings and remove it. See the menu.

Device is being picked up correctly. I suspect the issue lies with
gnome-volume-manager. Is the same running ?

 Does restart g-v-m help ?

Hi Olav,

well I tried to disable the F1 thing with:

System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
then I disabled the shortcut "Launch Help Browser"

then again I got the Yelp application launched when pressing the F1
key in the gnome-terminal (bug?).

Anyway I found this relevant:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/31344

spellchecker and other languages

Hi all,

How do I add additional languages to gedit? I am running v2.20.04
under Fedora, and it currently only offers me the choice of US, UK, or
Canadian English. I would like to add Dutch and Spanish.

IIRC, it used to be just a matter of adding the appropriate language
files to ~/.aspell but that no longer seems to be the case.

Thanks.

I think you need to modify the gconf key /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/help

I misread the initial response. I meant to look in the gnome-terminal
menu. No need to revert to gconf-editor.

Yeah, good point, i removed the terminal menu long time ago.

So if you have "Editable menu shortcut keys" enabled, you only need to
select the menu entry and press the delete key...
