How to disable alt-enter=maximize?

[robin_listas]

Hi,

In 11.4 (both new or upgraded), under gnome, when I type [Alt][Enter] I get
maximize window. If I do the same on gnome-terminal, it does nothing - so
it must be a "feature" of xterm, which 11.2 did not have. Indeed, it is not
listed on the desktop shortcuts.

How do I disable it?

It interferes with Midnight-Commander, alt-enter is used to copy filename
to the command line.

I guess the easiest would be to use gconf-editor and look under /apps/metacity/window_keybindings. There you can disable 'maximize'. Otherwise you can do it on the command line using gconftool-2 - if we're talking about Gnome2 (?).

That's what I said, that it is not there. No application under gnome
maximizes on alt-enter. None, except xterm.

OK, I see. Yes, you're right. Only xterm does that (unlike any other terminal program) and it doesn't do it just under Gnome (I just checked under icewm). It looks like an xterm key binding. I don't know if it can be disabled through X resources or terminfo, but there would be the place to look. It's a nice feature though, IMHO.

xterm (255) didn't do it under 11.3, nor in Mandriva (257). But xterm in openSUSE 11.4 (268) or ArchLinux (269) now does. I would say this shortcut is implemented by default in the latest xterm versions.

If I do "ALT-enter" in an xterm under KDE, it just beeps at me and does nothing.

[please_try_again]

xterm -xrm "XTerm.fullscreen: never"

or set this resource in your ~/.Xresources.

I found some google result for debian (without a feedback in it if it works)
for the Xresources which should disable it (disclaimer: I did not test it
and do not know if it is debian specific)

XTerm*fullscreen: never
XTerm.omitTranslation: fullscreen

It is definitely a xterm feature not a DE feature, there is a lot of
discussion and bug entries about that xterm [ALT][ENTER] fullscreen feature
not working in the past.

I found a slightly better post
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-b...msg884178.html
where it is said that the above solution works on debian and there is also a
patch attached for xterm, just in case someone is interseted in looking at
it.
