 Description  « Hide
In all versions of Linux that support X11, any key combination involving Alt, Ctrl, and any Fn key are reserved for the Linux kernel to switch virtual terminal displays. This makes the shortcuts for the entire menu "Advanced > Rendering > Features" inaccessible by keyboard on Linux.

Steps to reproduce bug are as follows:

1. Start Second Life v1.21 or lower.
2. Attempt to use any keyboard shortcut from the Advanced Rendering Features menu.

Result:

You are now on a virtual terminal. The kernel has trapped the keystroke and switched consoles; Second Life is unaware a key has been pressed.

Proposed fix:

Move keybindings for this menu to either ctrl+shift+Fn, or alt+shift+Fn, or ctrl-alt-shift-(number) instead.

Ok, ive been doing some work on these shortcut issues, i found a couple things.

Any Ctrl ALT combination is already used by X or some window managers, also true on mac and was only reported there. VWR-9473
ALT Shift Fn shortcuts have window manager conflicts too.
Ctrl Shift n is already used by some things in SL.
The = key does not register with any combination, at least in linux.

The only things left are Ctrl Shift Fn and Alt Shift n. Perfect to wipe out both these issues.

So i propose these changes.

Features menu options move to Ctrl Shift Fn.
Move that stray Reload pesonal settings overrides one to Ctrl Shift F12 (add a 1 to keep it simple and still stray )
Move Types menu options to Alt Shift n.
Move Particles to `.

As for the weird Particles one the = does not toggle it for some reason, i moved it to ` as a temporary solution. There probably isn't a best way to do this but someone has to make a decision, and some of these items probably should be moved around.

Posting this on VWR-9966, VWR-2085 VWR-9473 and Attaching a master patch.

Comment [ Please contribute to [this list|https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Shortcuts_SL-UX] in order to get an overview about all shortcut combinations in different OSs and in SL. Might help to avoid further glitches with new shortcuts ]
