view in a panel.
Different Linux window managers have different key bindings and different
procedures for setting them. Linux systems are highly customizable, and many
combinations of Linux system components are possible for use with
Maya—more than can be described (or tested) by Autodesk.
The following instructions give the procedures necessary for changing the
most common configurations.
KDE and Gnome desktop configuration
For Maya to work properly with KDE and Gnome, some modifications should
be made to the mouse control. The default bindings of the Alt key and mouse
buttons do not work well with Maya. Maya 2012 adds support to use the Meta
(Windows) key to act as the Alt key for tumbling. If you want to use the
Alt+mouse buttons for scene tumbling, ensure the bindings do not conflict.
Different versions of KDE and Gnome may have different methods of selecting
the key bindings. See the KDE and Gnome documentation for instructions if
the following steps don’t work for your particular window manager.
KDE under Red Hat
1 Open the KDE Control Center.
2 Select Desktop and then select Window Behavior.
3 Do one of the following:
■ (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 5.4) Open the Actions tab.
■ (Fedora 14) Open the Window Actions tab.
4 In the following section:
■ (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 5.4) Inner Window, Titlebar & Frame
■ (Fedora 14) Interactive Inner Window, Inner Window, Titlebar &
Frame
For modifier key Meta, set all mouse action combinations to Nothing.
5 Click Apply and close the Control Center.
Gnome under Red Hat
1 Open the Gnome Panel.
