Description
This test case tests whether commonly-used, de facto standard 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)
Expected Results
- 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
