intercept Alt-F2 in winconsole

Post by techtonik »

I need to use Alt-F2 shortcut in Far Manager running with wineconsole. But Alt-F2 invokes standard Linux "run command" dialog. How can I intercept the Alt-F2 so that it is processed by Wine application?

I don't think you can intercept it, but in KDE you can remap the run command to something else.

It is Gnome 3 on Fedora. Is it possible to remap the run command only for current window? Can wineconsole handle that automatically?

I doubt it, but ask on the Fedora forum. It's not a Wine question.

But Wine runs on Linux and I thought that Linux allows its applications gain exclusive access to keyboard input (including special keys). Does it?
