On the first machine above, TDE's konsole and of course the gui.
On the 2nd, xfce-4.12, std lcnc based on debian 10 install. There I nuked
the text for all the F10's I could find, but an F10 still brings up the
xfce consoles "file" menu.
Thanks Nik.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Greetings all;
1. I was forced by an errant mill table trapping and crushing my
last logitech K360 keyboard with a different keyboard, one which has
a row of buttons across the top/rear that among other things
includes a power switch, and another that apparently makes it
hibernate. It is virtually impossible to pick up this keyboard and
take it the 3 or 4 feet to the machine without inadvertently
pressing one or more of these buttons.
None of them are of any use around potentially dangerous machinery.
This is a row of buttons above the F buttons which the control
program running the machine makes liberal use of. I need to
completely disable that whole row of buttons, or find a source of
logitech NOS K-360's.
How can I do that?
The easy way is to find the associated keycodes ans reassing them to
something harmless. Problem with that approach: you'll first need to
find the keycodes (which will most likely end using xev and then some
nasty words. Or you get some superglue (thick variant) + activator
spray and glue the key in place. Well, you could just open that
keyboard and place some glue or isolation tape on the contacts of
those 2 keys. Or drill a hole through the cap and pull the cap out.
Second, some debian ID10T has decreed that F10 is
to bring up a
useless to me menu, meaning the exit from mc now demands I find and
pick up the $%#@&& mouse and use it to click on the F10 button at
the bottom right of the mc screen. Where, in TDE do I find where
that hijacking is being done so I can turn it off so I can run mc
from the keyboard like I've been doing for 22 years?
What console do you use?
