“enter” key in phpmyadmin

If, in show view (not editing a single item) of PhpMyAdmin (i.g. with Firefox), you have a strange behavior of enter key, that is if enter add a new row inside a column, instead of confirm modifications you made, you can try to modify absolute right click settings.
In this way: Run on sites with restrictions -> Don’t Allow

Now your PhpMyAdmin should work as expected.

Disable Caps Lock

It could happen that you inadvertently press and it turn out all the word you write are are UPPERCASE.
To avoid this, in Linux, you can

  • go to System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard -> Key bindigs
  • in Key bindings -> Configure Keybord options -> Caps Lock behavior -> Caps Lock disabled.
  • and then, always in Configure Keybord options -> switching to another layout -> select both
    • Both Shifts together
    • Caps Lock.

In this way your Caps Lock will be usually disabled, but you can use it by pressing both the shift keys.

BUT…
If you have wayland and espanso the upper configuration can give problems.
So the simpler way is:

  • to disable (permanently) caps lock : Key bindings -> Configure Keybord options -> Caps Lock behavior -> Make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl

quick type special characters

In Linux you can use ComposeKey, setting it for example (in System settings) as RightCtrl (the right-Ctrl key). RightCtrl is better than AltGr in Italian keyboard, to keep AltGr for some characters like ‘[‘, or ‘]’, or ‘@’, or ‘#’, otherwise unaccessible.

In that way, when you type 1) first RightCtrl 2) then ^ 3) then o, you will get ô. You don’t need to press simultaneously all the keys.

To sum up, the main simbols :

  • RightCtrl+^+o = ô
  • RightCtrl+”+o = ö
  • RightCtrl+’+o = ó
