Hi guys,

I need some help PERMANENTLY deleting the ALT+F1 hotkey function. Currently it brings up the "start menu" and I need it to desperately not do that.

I've gone the the /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal file and eliminated the ALT+F1 function from there. Then hard rebooted and hoped that solved it. It didn't, so I bulk-deleted all the ALT+key functions as a shot in the dark. Turns out that you can wipe the whole entry and the hotkeys still function...

Anyone know how to permanently disable these hotkeys? Thanks

(Running latest distro of Puppy Precise.)

Try this:

menu->Desktop->JWM Window Manager Settings->Keyboard shortcuts

Double Click on entry for the F1 key.

Select delete this shortcut.

No problem.
You also have to edit /root/.jwmrc and delete For obscure reasons some settings of the main config file /root/.jwmrc are by default duplicated in the personal config file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal, so you have to edit both files.

This changes only /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal, so wouldn't be sufficient.
