Ryan Cartwright at Freesoftware Magazine has a hot little tutorial for anyone who wants to master some very fantastically useful (but lesser known) keyboard shortcuts in OpenOffice.org (for Writer). Read the full story at FreeSoftwareMagazine.com.

Well, that's common knowledge in UNIX / Linux world. :-)
When I press Ctrl-Alt-Del in OpenOffice, a system terminal (root) pops up. Is this a new OpenOffice feature? Or is it a bird? Or an airplane? No, it is Heinz, the meteor! :-) No, of course not, it's just a simple setting in WindowMaker's keyboard control dialog. Any key combination can gain priority and activate a WM function or an external program just as you wish.
To complete stupidity at this point, I think Ctrl-Alt-Del is so important that there are even keyboards for this key combination:

And because we're talking about keyboards right now, don't miss the StupidaKeyboard:

Sometimes, I would be glad to hand such great equipment to certain kinds of users. :-)
