I used to have alt + tab to switch window, but recently my left bottom alt key suddenly switch window on its own.
I pressed tab to see if it's working and it does indeed work on it's own and I held alt key to see what happens and the windows began switching quickly.
I am using Windows 11, my right alt key works normally

I'm using a mac book pro.
When I'm pressing the upper left corner green button - it makes the window
into full screen and hides the dock bar.
I want my window to be almost full screen - I want the dock bar to remain.
One option is to manually starch it, but this is something that needs to be done every time.
Is there a way of customizing the upper left green button for that?
The functionality you're looking for is known as "zooming" the window. It used to be that the green button did that, but these days it enters full-screen mode instead. If you hold down the Option key when you click the green button, it reverts to the old zoom operation. You can also use the Zoom item of the Window menu. You can also configure things so that double-clicking on the title bar zooms the window, on the Dock pane of System Preferences.

This may seem like a silly question, but how do I recenter the active program, or get it back on my screen when I can't click it?
Sometimes when I run skype and switch between resolutions for full-screen programs, the skype window disappears off screen, and I have no way of dragging it back.
Does anyone know how to fix this without restarting the program?
Alt+Tab until the desired window is active.
Try the following shortcuts:
Win+Left: Fills left half of display with active window.
Win+Right: Fills right half of display with active window.
Win+Up: Maximize
Win+Down: Minimize or reset to window size prior to maximize.
NOTE, the above is for Windows 7. I haven't tested it on other OS's.
Not sure if it will work on earlier versions.

In Firefox (as well as in Chrome), if you hold down the shift key while clicking a hyperlink, it causes the link to be opened in a new window. Similarly, if you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a hyperlink, it causes the link to be opened in a new tab.
I was wondering if there is a setting in Firefox that I could change to disable this functionality? (i.e. if you hold down shift or ctrl while clicking a link, that it opens the link in the current tab and does not open it in a new window or new tab.)
I looked in the about:config area but couldn't find anything that could achieve this.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

On my mbp, I open xterm under X11 and I want to paste from the clipboard. However, command+v doesnt work and there isnt even an option from the edit menu. Is this not possible? If it is, how do I enable it?
Alt + left mouse click should do the job if the button mouse emulation has been enabled.
And for some more details check this out http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-18272.html.
Have you tried the Pasteboard settings in X11? Also, a lot of keyboard shortcuts for X11 actually use ctrl instead of Command (like in GIMP and Inkscape).

Secondly, is there a reason that you're using Xterm instead of Terminal?

I use a VPN and Windows remote desktop to log onto my Windows XP work computer from my Win Vista 64 home computer. The only problem is that I sometimes forget to move all my important windows over to the main screen when I leave work. Does anyone know a way I can move the windows over to the main window without being able to see them? So far the only way I know how to do this is by closing them and reopening, which is not an option for tests that has been running for multiple hours.
I have seen a few non-free desktop management tools online but I don't want to pay to solve something so simple.
Right click on window in taskbar, choose Move and use arrow keys to move the window.
Optionally you can press Alt + Space when window is in focus to bring up the same menu with Move.
Window can't be maximized in order to move but you can Restore it using same menu.
On Windows 7, start Task Manager, chooses "Applications" tab, select task, right-click with mouse, and do:
1. minimize.
2. maximize.
In my case, it brought widows that had been opening onto the second desktop, that I have disconected, onto the main desktop.
