So the ^T Execute menu is inaccessible?  What about the keystrokes with Alt?
When in Cockpit I click the Terminal thing in the side bar, I get a terminal
on the local machine.  When I run nano there, almost all Control keystrokes
of the QWERTY row are intercepted by the browser.  ^Q and ^W ask if I really
want to leave the page, ^R asks the same but also makes nano enter the Insert
menu, ^T opens a new browser tab, ^Y does in nano what it should, ^U opens
a new browser tab with the source of the page, ^I inserts a tab in nano but
also opens a window with page info, ^O wants to write out the file in nano
but also open the file-opening dialog of the browser, ^P moves the cursor a
line up but also opens a dialog for printing the page.  In other words: in
this "Terminal" thing nano is completely unusable.

I've installed Cockpit and can log in on https://localhost:9090.  But I can't
figure how to create a virtual machine -- it shows a boot sequence, but then
gets stuck sooner or later.  I doubt that my laptop is powerful enough to run
such a virtual machine.

Anyway, if these virtual machines are really so popular nowadays, then there
should be hundreds of people who can offer me a login through the browser to
a remote virtual machine.  Is there anyone here who can do that?  If so, then
please respond here and send me the URL, username and password in a private
email.
