Description

This test case tests whether commonly-used, de factostandard keyboard shortcuts work in a given desktop environment.

Setup

• Boot into the distribution release and desktop you wish to test.
• Take into account any changes you have made to the default keyboard shortcut configuration.

How to test

• Try these common keyboard shortcuts:

• F1(from within an application that is part of the desktop being tested)

Alt-F2

Alt-F4 (from within an application, which it is safe to quit)

Alt-Tab

'Super' key (also called 'Windows key').

Ctrl-Alt-up

Ctrl-Alt-down

Volume up (if available)

Volume down (if available)

Mute (if available)

ExpectedResults

• F1 from within an application should launch the help system.
• Alt-F2 should bring up the desktop's 'run application' dialog.
• Alt-F4 should close the active window (usually, quitting the application).
• Alt-Tab should bring up a window switcher display, and with each successive press, switch to a different window.
• The 'Super' (Windows) key should initiate the desktop's menu system or overview.
• Ctrl-Alt-up should switch up to the current workspace (if you have multiple workspaces).
• Ctrl-Alt-down should switch down to the workspace (if you have multiple workspaces).
• The volume up key should increase the system volume.
• The volume down key should decrease the system volume.
• The mute key should mute system audio.
