GNOME is the Linux platform, one of the mainstream of the integrated desktop environment, GNOME desktop, its style, simplicity, easy operation and subject to Linux users.The following capture some of the common operating under the GNOME desktop environment skills, these skills to bring great convenience to our operations, but also allow us to experience the open-source Linux desktop great power.
Top view window and input things correct
With the Windows system similar to when you open multiple windows, to maximize the current window if a show is to open the other windows will not see the.At this point, even if the switch to another window, so that other windows displayed in the foreground, but in the latter window operation, just in front of the window display will be on the cover.In the GNOME desktop environment, like a window has been displayed in the foreground (the top display), only the window title bar at the top need to click the right mouse button, the pop-up shortcut menu, select "usual residence, the top"keys, the window will not be any other block.
This intimate little feature that can solve some of our routine work in special needs.For example, when we need a window, the message as a reference, while the other window to maximize the time as the main interface, you can make reference to the window top, while the window in the back entry (Figure 1).
Want to abolish the top is also very simple, direct closure or top window title bar and click on the shortcut menu that pops up again click the "usual residence, the top" items can be.
Start the Terminal to join Right menu
GNOME terminal program ("gnome-terminal") is the most commonly used tools for implementing command-line program, which is usually in the menu "Applications → Accessories" under.Obviously, as a common tool, if every time you start must click on the "Applications → Accessories" would be too inconvenient.
Do not worry, we can add it to mouse right-click menu, so need to start the GNOME terminal at any time, just click right mouse button on it.
By default, the GNOME desktop, empty area, click right mouse button, right in the pop-up shortcut menu is not GNOME terminal program's menu items, in order to add this menu item, we need to manually install a file called "nautilus-open-terminal"package.Source software in the Ubuntu system is included in the package, as long as the current system to connect to the Internet, we can use the "apt-get" command to install.
Let the last time we go to "Applications → Accessories" and start "terminal", enter the following command:
"Sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal"
Command runs, it will automatically download and install the package, after installation, from the current user logs off and then log back on Ubuntu systems, integrated into the GNOME desktop environment, the desktop Right click a blank area, then quickly pop upmenu, you can see a new "Open in Terminal" (shown in Figure 2), more convenient, right?
Magical combination of keys quickly canceled
Currently, the Linux system, not to log users off from the current environment for the rapid order, but do not worry, use the keyboard combination "Ctrl + Alt + BackSpace" can be achieved.In addition, with the Windows system similar to the desktop stops responding in the face, they can try to press the key combination, it will "kill" the current X Jin Cheng ("/ usr/X11R6/bin/X", that is graphicalwindow background service process), and back to Ubuntu system login screen, without having to restart the computer.In this way, the login is successful, it can also be a normal operation.
