Text Entry Shortcuts
If you want to have quick access to lines of text by using a hotkey, for example to enter your email address in forms, then you can use xbindkeys. Xbindkeys has a GUI utility to allow easy settings of hotkeys, but be aware that it's a little more complicated than the default Ubuntu Shortcutkeys interface.
Install xbindkeys
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys
Create the default config file for xbindkeys
xbindkeys --defaults > /home/your-user-name/.xbindkeysrc
When thats done, install xbindkeys-config, the GUI for xbindkeys
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys-config
Now the utility that actually does the "typing"
sudo apt-get install xvkbd
Once each is installed, start both applications by bringing up "Run Application" with ALT -F2.
xbindkeys
and
xbindkeys-config
To keep the xbindkeys hotkeys active when you next start the computer you will have to add a new session, System --> Preferences --> Sessions. Put in the command "xbindkeys" into the command field (without the quotes).
You should be able to see the "Xbindkeys Config" window. Start a new hotkey. Hit "New" on the bottom row of buttons. Then use the edit area at the top right. Give the hotkey a name. Hit the "GetKey" button to set the keypress for a hotkey. Some hotkeys may conflict with other hotkeys on the system (a window will open or a compiz plugin will activate). If this happens then choose another combination like CTRL - ALT - F for example.
Now put the command to activate with that hotkey in the "Action" field. This can be anything, but to allow for the entry of a line of text into part of the GUI enter
xvkbd -xsendevent -text "myemail@server.com"
The example shows an email address but it can be any line of text. Now hit "Apply" and test the hotkey in a Firefox field, text editor, or anywhere that text can be entered. Please note that using "Run Action" will not be able to test the command in xbindkeys-config, you will have to test it somewhere else.

Puis connecte toi à une session xfce avec cet utilisateur. Si les raccourcis fonctionnent, alors, on saura que le problème vient des fichiers de configuration de xfce du premiers utilisateur (suite à une mise à jour?), et on pourra alors avancer.]]>
Ça ne suffit pas encore.
J'ai changé tous les raccourcis sans plus de succès.]]>
