|
|||
|
|
it isn't on your keyboard. MIT people used to complain about the
|
|||
|
|
‘control-meta-cokebottle’ commands at SAIL, and SAIL people
|
|||
|
|
complained right back about the ‘escape-escape-cokebottle’
|
|||
|
|
commands at MIT. After the demise of the <a href="../S/space-cadet-keyboard.html"><i class="glossterm">space-cadet
|
|||
|
|
keyboard</i></a>, <span class="firstterm">cokebottle</span>
|
|||
|
|
faded away as serious usage, but was often invoked humorously to describe
|
|||
|
|
an (unspecified) weird or non-intuitive keystroke command. It may be due
|
|||
|
|
for a second inning, however. The OSF/Motif window manager,
|
|||
|
|
<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mwm</span>(1)</span>,
|
|||
|
|
has a reserved keystroke for switching to the default set of keybindings
|
|||
|
|
and behavior. This keystroke is (believe it or not)
|
|||
|
|
‘control-meta-bang’ (see <a href="../B/bang.html"><i class="glossterm">bang</i></a>). Since
|
|||
|
|
the exclamation point looks a lot like an upside down Coke bottle, Motif
|
|||
|
|
hackers have begun referring to this keystroke as <span class="firstterm">cokebottle</span>. See also <a href="../Q/quadruple-bucky.html"><i class="glossterm">quadruple
|
|||
|
|
bucky</i></a>.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="coefficient-of-X.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="cold-boot.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">coefficient of X<></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>cold boot</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
