Environment: Thinkpad T420s + Debian Wheezy
1. Disable the touchpad for thinkpad (I am never used to using the touchpad anyway)
Add synclient TouchpadOff = 1 at the end of the/etc/profile configuration file
2. thinkpad trackpoint (Red Riding Hood) enables middle-key scrolling and adjusts the speed and sensitivity.
Write a script to add it to the startup item. The script content is as follows:
#! /Bin/bash
Echo-n 120>/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed # adjust the speed
& Nbsp; echo-n 250>/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensiti.pdf # adjust the sensitivity
Xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1 # The following three adjustment buttons can be vertically rolled
Xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
Xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 6 7 4 5
3. Remove the beep sound during shutdown.
Edit/etc/inputrc and remove the comment before set bell-style none.
4. Change the Ctrl + Delete key to the Delete key.
Run dconf-editor, expand org-> gnome-> desktop-> interface, select can-change-accels, and open nautilus to select a file, on the menu, select Edit> move to the recycle bin. When highlighting the content (but don't press it), click Delete to change the default setting. You must disable can-change-accels to avoid mistaken shortcut keys.
5. Add a desktop shortcut
Choose system Settings> keyboard> shortcut key> navigation> hide all normal windows and set a shortcut key you like.
