Hi Gene & Lisi!

Is it fussy which <alt>?
Yep, must be the one left of space. The other one is "alt gr"
And I think thats why it didn't work the first time.
Didn't
work the first time, menu opened, but keyboard arrows were
sent to /dev/null. Closed it, hit it again, worked. ??
And you've loaded the second recent file ..
I'll give that a shot when I'm out there making Mahogany chips
again. Tomorrow.
Thanks Nik, that sounds useable, but fixing the mouse would be even
better as its a one handed operation.
You can make "<alt>" sticky, then it's a one handed operation: TDE
control center, "Regional settings/Accessibility", there 2. Tab
"sticky keys" (sorry, translated from german, might be labeled
otherwise), then it's:
<alt>, f, <down>, <right>, 2, <enter>
You could automate this sequence with a tool like "xbindkeys" and e.g.
use the darn capslock-key to play that sequence :-)
Logitech K360 keyboard, square sided keys, don't get jamed with swarf
near as often as a regular keyboard, cheap and compact, has some unused
media keys above the esc key that might be stealable for that. :)
Thanks you two.
Nik
