now, if you tell us how you managed to assign the esc key with Firefox
starting firefox when hitting esc key
hi all
did you notice that if you hit the escape key (even right now when I am writing this message) a new instance of firefox starts?
this is very annoying especially when editing files in vi insert mode and trying to get back to normal mode .... only shit+esc worked
what can be causing that ?

Clean the keyboard internal membrane & wiring sheet(it sounds weird but it but because of dirty circuitry inside keyboard some keys behaviors becomes unpredictable)

slapt-get --install linux-generic-a-newer-version
didnt do anything after this just rebooted
and when I rebooted I realized how stupid i was
then I booted in ubuntu, chrooted in backtrack and tried to compile a new kernel (2.6.21.5, which was from the begining) but still no luck (while booting i got this message: freeing kernel space: 252 k free or something)
after that I got back in ubuntu and I copied the vmlinuz from the bt3 live cd to the backtrack: /boot dir
everything was fine after that, bt3 was booting fine in runlevel 3 but when tryin` to startx I got some errors that i dont have kdeinit & something like kstartup... (hate this KDE, it gives you a windows feeling)
after i've slapt-got those two everything was fine ... i was glad
but then i've realised this awful thing: hitting escape button starts a new firefox .... dammit
ok I've searched that and frankly I dont know how the f@#k this had been assigned ... got it in keyboard shortcuts in control centernow, if you tell us how you managed to assign the esc key with Firefox
anyway nice story i've told you before
closed!
