How to prevent LXDE from popping up a textbox when I press some keys while the desktop is in focus
Re: How to prevent LXDE from popping up a textbox when I press some keys while the desktop is in focus
It's not only with numbers, it happens with letters too.
You can't switch this off(*); it's a feature(**).
It's the same quick search feature you get in the filemanager. Actually, the desktop is just another filemanager window with a few extra rules.
(*) Don't take my word for it! But there definitely is no GUI preference for en/disabling the quick search.
(**) Try using the first letter of a file that is on your desktop, then hit enter.

Why does it bother you?
If it happens accidentally you can just press Escape.
Hotkeys (like Alt-F2 etc) are not affected.
