This bug is the main cause for bug 950160. Super+P is the only way to tell Windows 8 to toggle external display. It's expected that on new laptops come with Windows 8, BIOS will only sends out Super+P for the hot key to switch external display, and this key will not work in Ubuntu.
Super key should not be consumed by Compiz/Unity, if this key is used in combination with other keys. Compiz/Unity is not the only user of the super key. gnome-settings-daemon also uses this key for toggling external display. This is a design conflict between Compiz/Unity and g-s-d. I would like to see a real solution worked out. Otherwise, we should let Unity to handle video-out keycodes, as proposed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/632632/comments/5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
