I have been researching a lot about this and I cannot seem to find any useful information about this topic, what so ever.

I have now been using Ubuntu in one week, and have gotten pretty confident with almost everything. Except keyboard layout and shortcuts. If you know a tutorial or a documents explaining keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu or linux in general, can you please list it? I use a Mac Book Pro with a Norwegian keyboard, and I have several questions about this:

  • Is there a program for having a consise list of absolutely all keyboard shortcuts, and be able to change them?

  • How do I use my fn keys? (fn button doesnt do the job for some reason)

  • How can I use my alt+letter-key-or-number-key or alt+shift+letter-key-or-number-key to get fancy characters. (Like I do on Mac OS X)

  • How can I swap cmd and ctrl key system wide?

Also I really want to be oriented around this subject, since this is the only thing holding me back on Ubuntu, so if there exists some in-depth material on this, it would be great.

Also, if there exists some programs or material out there making it easier with Mac hardware I would enjoy that.

Sorry if my questions seems vague.

Thank you very much

Simon
