Ctrl + Alt + Backspace

[MarcusMoeller]

Hi all,

I want to enable the zapping with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in Xorg.

I have create the following xorg configuration file:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "keyboard-sg"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "ch"
        Option  "XkbOptions"    "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

But it does not seem to have any effect.

I am using Fedora 18 x86_64 btw.

Just an update. It seems to be related to GNOME only. On e.g. KDE, the above settings work as expected.

Settings -> Region and language settings -> (they seemed to have changed things in F18) Language Keyboard -> Shortcuts

Ok so gnome-tweak-tools to the rescue.

 sudo yum install gnome-tweak-tools

Go to typing, and you should see an entry for "terminate". And voila, there you go.

(Please mark it as solved if this works for you)
