Other GNU/Linux tips

When using GNU Emacs, the Ctrl key is used much more than Alt. Therefore it is a good idea to swap these keys. To do this in Gnome:

• System=>Preferences=>Keyboard=>Layouts=>Layout Options
• In Alt/Win key behavior select Control is mapped to Win keys (and the usual Ctrl keys);
• In *Key to choose 3rd level** select Right Alt key never chooses 3rd level;

This will swap Ctrl and Alt.
