General Help

I use the Win11-like menu and with SUPER+A I get the Ubuntu-menu. But it is a very good alternatieve (works almost the same). Only super-r is not an option, I guess...
Thanks!!

Glad to hear that it does almost what you wanted :slight_smile:
As a former OSX (Hackintosh) user, I use a mac-like menu.

In Zorin 15, or perhaps 12, alternate option was Alt+ F1. No such issues with KDE Plasma (it isn't Gnome). I have left and right 'meta keys' and both launch whatever KDE Plasma Menu I am using at the time! :wink:

Nope, that's the activities-switcher (now). More ideas??? :smirk:

10

There used to be an option to switch between Activity Manager and Menu option. :wink:

11

It is still there.
In Zorin Appearance > Interface > Left Super Key
and click the drop down menu to change it from Activities Overview to Zorin Menu or the reverse.

Tried that, but still activities on both settings when pressing ALT + F1... :man_shrugging:

But that was not the solution for my problem, I guess...

14

Hmmm... I guess not. You are looking for a solution in regards to the Keyboard Shortcut.

Funny... on my desktop, alt+F1 brings up the right-click context menu.
On Zorin Gnome, what does the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog window show?

15

Actually no matter what I do, I never be able to make Super key to open application menu. It always requires Super +A.

Instead of torturing myself, I decided to customise my brain and now I've got accustomed to this key combination :nerd_face:

Oh, you got Super key on the right!
I did not know there is such thing.
All my keyboards have Super key on the left pretty close to A.
This is what I use everyday.

Yup. That's why I asked for help. Zorin sees it as a right-super-key. There is no way to permanent set is as a left-super-key...

19

I wonder if you can change the alphabet A with other letters which is closer to this right Super key, such as L or K.

20

Great idea! Didn't think of that. But what is de command to open the zorin-menu?

21

Since I decided not to bother changing the shortcut, I cannot remember. I will as @Aravisian.

22

I have no idea. I do not use the Zorin Gnome version.
Unlike XFCE, the Gnome keyboard Shorcuts tab from gnome-control-center does not show the existing shortcuts with their commands. So I cannot check it that way on Gnome, either.
The program itself isorg.gnome.shell.extensions.zorin-menu

The keybinding schema is org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings

23

Well... I have now found another solution, which I can live with... :smirk:

Via SETTINGS > SHORTCUT KEYS and then NAVIGATION > SHOW ALL APPLICATIONS this modified from [SUPER]+[A] to [SUPER]+[/] and this works. Again I don't get the zorin menu, but I can now type in the name (partially) of the application and open a program like this (with enter).

Thanks all. :smiley: :+1:

In the keyboard shortcuts can't you just search what the super key was defaulted to (activities or app menu) then change it and hit your super key which is a different acpi signal, which would change the binding to right super?
