All keyboard shortcuts are damaged.
The key "Print Screen" and any other built-in shortcut doesn't' work.
This is what I get when I click on the "JWM Hotkey" button:
Configuration file doesn't exist! Aborting...
How can I fix this?
How can I recover my shortcuts?
***EDITED***
What specific Puppy version are you running?
—>bionicpup64 8.0
Frugal or full?
—>Full.
I've always used frugal. Now I tested a Full install and unexpectedly got rid of some hangings due, may be, to the browser requiring more memory than what I have (2GB).
But I'd never had the problem of the kb-shortcuts disappearing that way, provided that I didn't touch the filesystem in any way. I think it's a bug. I didn't do anything to damage that.
The only thing I remember when this happened is that I had three instances of the shorcuts window. Then, suddenly, one of them failed and I got the error pup up in red.
Thanks for reading and/or helping..

How is it installed?
Frugal or full?
If frugal. Have you made a save and rebooted using the save?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Re: JWM keyboard shortcuts damaged spontaneously
You get this message when JWMDesk (or more precisely the script /usr/local/jwmdesk/keyboard) cannot find the file "$HOME/.jwm/jwmrc-personal". Assuming that you are logged in as root this translates into file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal.Amaponian wrote:This is what I get when I click on the "JWM Hotkey" button:

Check if this file exists. There might exist a backup named /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal2.

Your tip fixed my problem.
I recovered my shortcuts.
The bug remains.
You may want to go back to using frugal install of Bionicpup64 8.0
Full install is still offered, but it has been years since anyone has tried to keep it updated to how Puppy works.
All the tweaking, bug fixing, operation, etc.... has been all about frugal installs.
Plus, some features only work in frugal installs.
Problems with browsers is all about the browser.
They are constantly working on those things.
2GB of memory should be OK, more than enough.
Example:
Pale Moon browser, just got an update, to fix a problem with YouTube web site.

Having a program started three times is probably your problem.I had three instances of the shorcuts window. Then, suddenly, one of them failed and I got the error pup up in red.
Why have it running that way?

Just a problem with my mouse that repeats my clicks.
But now I think I'm able to reproduce the system error
which still seems to be sort of a bug.
The error occurs when I try to assign,
to any combination of keys,
this action:
exec:defaultbrowser https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... =198740990
The error occurs every time I try that.
I got the url shortened and then It worked just fine.
Could that error be a bug?
Thanks for your patience.
P.S. I took your word about the convenience of frugal install over full install. Thank you.
