Re: Debian stable's screen suddenly became "larger" than the actual screen



I have a Windows key on this keyboard (pressing it seems to do nothing).

Pressing the Win key with Alt and moving the mouse and various combinations does nothing to "switch off" this mode and to restore a normal-sized desktop.

Suggestions please?

Hello Van,

My thoughts, exactly.

Can I create a Windoze key by remapping something, say "Pause?"

Yes, you can with remapping.  It's not something I've  ever had to do,
but there's plenty of info available online.  I won't provide hints or
tips because I remember very little of the details and don't wish to
provide incorrect information.

There used to be a page in KDE settings to set or change keyboard
shortcuts, but it seems to have disappeared.

In System Settings (6.3.4) it's under Input and Output section,
Keyboard/Shorcuts.  That's in Debian testing, of course.  Not sure
where/when they were in Plasma 5 - or when they got expunged.

There is now a page under Keyboard -> Input Devices -> Advanced -> Alt and Win behavior where one can set "Alt and Meta are on Alt."

But I can't find the old page where shortcuts could be set and edited. There's a "Shortcuts" page but it's a list of shortcuts to launch applications, not for things like "switch to desktop 6." There are some things under Shortcuts -> Plasma. Maybe I just haven't dug far enough into the entirely new system settings arrangement that's entirely different in Plasma 5 from what it was in earlier versions.
