[GRLUG] KDE question (google maps)

[Dave Kedron]

Hey thanks guys for replying.  I guess I'll probably re-map Run to alt-r and keep firefox on ctrl-r  (I use refresh more than Run).  

BTW, here is a screenshot of Google Maps in Firefox on my linux box.

I am running firefox 1.5.0.2 on Fedora Core 4.  So... does google maps work on your firefox in linux then?

(BTW, I also tried disabling adblock, and I also have Noscript enabled for google, other than that, I don't know of any other extensions that might stop googlemaps from working).

Thanks.

That's odd, I've never heard of it not working.  Could you tell us how it 
doesn't work?  Blank page, error message?

Here's half an answer:  In The Old Days, browsers in Linux used alt-r to 
reload, and I got used to that.  The alt key is closer to the r, and 
therefore an easier combo.  So I changed my browser to do that.  In 
Firefox, put about:config in the location bar, and then search for 
keyconfig.main.key_reload I set the value to:  alt][R][ (which seems odd, 
but it works).  Then restart Firefox, and alt-r is your refresh.

I got an extension for Firefox called KeyConfig which lets you reconfigure 
just about any possible action in Firefox, that's been helpful as well.
