The follow commands are intended to fix a bug in epiphany 3.18.10 that forces double tapping keys when used in conjunction | |
with SHIFT and/or CTRL. For example, SHIFT-A for a capital A or CTRL-C for copy. The A and the C would need to be tapped twice | |
for the function to work. This has been patched in 3.18.11 but if you are on elementary Loki than that version is not available. | |
These commands will download the source code. You will then edit the code and recompile into a .deb package which you can then install with | |
the bug fixed. | |
