run apps with enter key in lxde desktop

Post by clauslack »

Under LXDE live 13.1.2 and LXDE 13.37, I can't run apps with enter key in lxde desktop. Run only with double click over the icon.

Is this the normal behavior?

Thanks

This seems to be a Salix LXDE issue (32 bits and 64 bits)

I test with Debian Live LXDE and work fine. (from lxde.org)

I post in LXDE forum too. Other user test without problem with Archlinux.

Maybe, but are they using the same versions of apps as we do? I'm betting that they're using 0.9.x alpha/beta versions of pcmanfm in particular, which may have introduced this feature, but has numerous other bugs. We're using pcmanfm-mod 1.2.3 which is a fork of pcmanfm 0.5.x.

This actually works for me - hitting enter on a directory moves into it, hitting enter on a file launches it in the default application, etc. Unless I've got the issue wrong.

Maybe it's a problem with your GTK theme? Bad options in GTK themes can sometimes cause strange problems.

In Directory works, the issue is in LXDE Desktop.
Is the default LXDE install, even in LIVE LXDE CD.
