I often want to type Alt+Shift+~ while using emacs (to run its command "not-modified"). However, since upgrading to Debian Wheezy (which upgraded Gnome to 3.4), I find that when I type those keys, Emacs doesn't "hear" the keystroke; instead, I see a popup window that looks like the window I see when I hit Alt+TAB (except this window only ever has a single icon in it, for Emacs, as opposed to the window that Alt+TAB brings up, which has one icon for each application).
I've fixed many similar stolen-keystroke problems like this in the obvious way: I click my name in the upper-right corner of the screen, choose "System Settings" from the dropdown menu; click the "Keyboard" icon, click the "Shortcuts" tab, and examine every entry on the right side to see if it's the guilty party; if so, I disable it. However, in this particular case, I cannot find any entry that refers to the tilde or the backtick key, so I don't know what to delete.
I've also tried examining the output of gconftool-2 --recursive-list to see if I could find anything likely, but saw nothing that looked relevant.
Some diligent googling for "gnome alt backtick" found this:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-group "['disabled']"

In lf at the bottom status bar on the right-hand corner where it says 9/37 or something, basically, which file out of all files you are on, it also shows a red box next to it with the number 1 in it. What does this red box mean? is it linked to permissions or something? if so how do I disable it?
When I run lf as sudo, the red box is no longer there and the colors also looks like ranger regardless of the lack of config for root. When run normally, the lf file manager has lots of yellow background highlights and all and the red box at the bottom.
What is this box and how do I get rid of it?
I tried getting rid of any lf config I had and put it back to defaults, but it just looks more different. Why is the root one soo different regardless the lack of config instructions (lfrc) and what does the red box at the bottom mean.

when I started using VSCode I got really nice auto completes and when I hovered over variables or methods I would get a pop-up that would show me what's in the variable or what arguments that method takes, now <tag>'s don't auto close and attributes don't auto add ="" nothing shows up when I hover over things.
I have completely uninstalled and reset VSCode, in every way I have found on the internet, I tried copying my GitHub code space settings(which was working as expected) but there were no extensions installed on the code space and nothing but a theme in the settings so I didn't have anything to copy over to my desktop, but I accidentally synced the settings of my desktop version to the code space now the code space has the same problems my desktop version had, even though there are no settings in the settings.json folder on my desktop, also no extensions installed.
you have to go to your %appdata% folder on windows and delete the Code, then uninstall vscode and reinstall it. just uninstalling it doesnt get rid of that Code folder.

I'd like to gain on the funny guy scale and let people know their are slow. Usually I do that by pasting something like "hey, dude, don't be 🐌" or when talking about e-mail versus 🐌-mail.
Usually, I copy that character by hand from some webpage or another one but it would be so much cooler to be able to 🐌 up the text without it.
Is there a way to "type" in 🐌 or similar on a laptop running Win 10 without specific software installed and without any special keys on the keyboard? I googled it a bit but the hints didn't work out or required some key combos that I can't see on my computer.
In Windows you can insert a Unicode character up to 255 decimal value by holding down alt and typing the decimal value on the numpad (if you have one) then releasing alt, this won't work for the snail though because it is higher than 255 (128012) so that rules out notepad from being able to do it. But apps like word and other rich text editors can enter Unicode characters by typing there unicode hex values then pressing alt+x so to get a snail you would type U+1f40c[ALT+x] (the U+ is optional) other than that it is up to each program to figure out how they want to do it if at all. Happy 🐌ing!
Hit Windows key and Period key at the same time to open the Windows Emoji Keyboard. Then type "snail" and enter to insert the snail emoji. 🐌

I am a new user just turned from auto-complete to company mode. In auto-complete mode, I use tab key to start completion, when there're no characters at all, the tab key will behave as usual, i.e. indent this line. But in company mode, whenever I type 'tab', it will automacilly shows the completion popup window, so I cannot use tab to indent. How can I solve this problem?
By the way, I also want the completion starts when I type ::,-> and . in C++ mode. The backend is irony mode. I add the next line in my init file ,but it doesn't work at all:
(add-hook 'irony-mode-hook 'company-irony-setup-begin-commands)
Another problem is that does company realize the case insensitive matching? For example, I want to complete a variable named aBigApple, I just need to type 'abig' .

I seem to have gotten Microsoft Word (from Office 2003) into a weird mode.
If I select some text with the mouse and "type over" it, the new text is inserted before the selected text instead of replacing it. Same thing happens if I use the Delete or Backspace key to eliminate it.
The following do work as expected:
1. backspace over the characters I want to delete, one character per keystroke
2. Same thing with the Delete key
3. control-X to "cut" the text.
Does anybody know how to return to "normal" behavior? And for that matter, how I managed to get into this mode?
You have activated the overwrite function!

The comment by MyDog led me to the right answer:
Tools menu ->Options, select the "Edit" pane and check "Typing Replaces Selection".
I have also found out what causes the problem -- at least the immediate cause. If I copy an image from another app (e.g., Irfanview or MS Paint) and paste it into the Word document, that turns off "typing replaces selection". I'm not sure why MS thought this would be a good idea, or if it's just a bug, but at least now I know what causes it, and that I have to turn typeover back on after pasting an image.
