I'm using KDE on CentOS 7 on one machine and KDE on Kubuntu 16.04 on another.

In both cases I've set Alt-Shift to switch keyboard layout. However, in Kubuntu Alt-Shift-XXX is still free: I can make use of Alt-Shift-5 [aka Alt-%] in Emacs and Alt-Shift-o [aka Alt-O] in Krusader, where as in CentOS all app-specific shortcuts featuring Alt-Shift are broken.

This thread sounds very similar: How to prevent Alt+Shift from switching keyboard layout before keyup?

I need help to research into this issue.

I recently had an issue where my computer was unusable, and hard drive was always at 100%, so I tested the hard drive, and sure enough, it said something along the lines of "too many failures", which I assumed to mean my hard drive was crashing, and being 7 years old, I assumed it was true.

So I just bought a new WD Black 1TB drive. I had some trouble installing Windows, which seemed like it may have been another HD issue, but on the 3rd try, it finally installed (I had to disconnect my 2nd drive). I got it up and working, and it's been fine for around 3 weeks of low usage, but now it's showing the same symptoms as the first drive. 100% usage in task manager, but my individual processes are sometimes showing 0.1 MB/s or less with 100% disk usage. I can't get perfomance monitor to come up, as windows is pretty much unusable and it takes 5+ minutes to get the start menu and other things to work.

It seems unlikely that the same systems across hard drives would show up. Can someone guess as to whether this is an issue with the SATA cable, or is this an issue on the motherboard? My 2nd drive with pictures and other files does not seem to have a problem.

I am trying to get any information from a picture. I need the date, name of the person who took it or anything. I am trying to use some metadata checkers but they just show me the resolution and type of file jpg/jpeg. Any ideas? I have even tried tools like exiv2 and photoshop without any results.

this is not that critical, but since it has been bugging me for 2 years now, I'll ask.

I am a programmer, and I'm running a Grails compiler in Windows Command Prompt. When I need to terminate a process in cmd, I hit Ctrl + C. It will prompt me a confirmation message saying "Terminate Batch Job (Y/N)". There are times I just pressed those keys, but will change my mind, so I will choose to cancel the termination of the batch job. But it will always terminate even if I choose "N". In fact, it will terminate both on any character!!

Here is the screen shoot:

It also happened when I try to stop other batches. I'm wondering what has happened. Some sort of virus, maybe?

I've been having a recent problem lately with my CPU usage. It's literally always around 90%-100% but in task manager under 'user' it says differently. Even when I do a rough calculation of the processes, they don't add up to what task manager or performance monitor (Advanced System Care) says it is. What's going on? Screenshot
