Different specific keybinds between Linux and Windows?

[Leophir]

I've just started playing on Linux and I'm having a blast, everything is so smooth fast pretty and easy on my 10 years old laptop. I have question regarding shortcuts and couldn't find a proper or up to date replay:

On Windows I was using Ctrl - Left click to either drop or pickup materials, typically coal. I cannot find the equivalent on Linux, any help is welcome.

Have a nice day

P.S: I'm referring to those manipulations:

Manipulating items
Fast entity transfer (Ctrl + Left mouse button) while empty-handed grabs items from an entity without having to open it. When held down, this gathers items from multiple entities by dragging over them with a single stroke. As a general rule of thumb, this grabs everything that an inserter would grab; i.e., the outputs of furnaces and automatic crafting machines, science packs from labs, etc.
Fast entity split (Ctrl + Right mouse button) only moves half of what is inside the entity into the user's inventory.
Fast entity transfer (Ctrl + Left mouse button) fills an entity's inventory or input slots with the item held in the cursor. Holding down the Fast entity transfer keyboard binding while moving or dragging over multiple entities can be used to stock them with a single motion. As a rule of thumb, this inserts anything that an inserter would put into an entity; for example, you can grab some fuel, hold the Fast entity transfer keyboard binding, and drag over fuel-burning entities to refuel several of them in one stroke.
Fast entity split (Ctrl + Right mouse button) only moves half of what is held in the cursor into the entity.
Toggle filter (Middle mouse button) sets a filter on an inventory slot. If the slot is empty, the filter can be chosen from a list of all solid items. This works for slots in the player's toolbelt quickbar, car trunks, and cargo wagons. You can use the Copy entity settings and Paste entity settings keyboard bindings to copy and paste filters between slots.

They should be the same on linux. Check the keybinds in the settings to see what those actions are bound to. Also depending on what linux distribution you have the keyboard layout might be different and ctrl might not be where you expect it to be.

Yup shortcuts are the same mostly, check the keybinds just to be sure. iirc there was 1 or 2 things that were changed for me.

I did see the mention of a laptop. Any chance the issue here is laptop keyboard oddities?

Yeah I had the keys ctrl and fn swapped and forgot to put it back this way after resetting the bios. My fault

I have experienced multiple issues on laptop. I have a trackpad and that disables mouse buttons when the keyboard is in use, for example. So I can't used WASD and then click around (which is tricky on a trackpad at the best of times).

My solution is to remap the keys to something else when I play on my linux laptop. But this is very frustrating on days like today when I am moving between the platforms The laptop does not have a scroll button so I have mapped zoom to PgUp and PgDn. Now I am back on my desktop and that feels horrible and I'm much rather have the mouse button be used.

However, the configuration allows you to set TWO shortcuts for each action. So I have mapped BOTH PgUp AND the scroll wheel. Works like a dream.
