Hi,
I did some testing...
table.insert(globalkeys, key({ "Mod1" }, "Shift_L", function ()
> naughty.notify({text="press"}) end, function ()
> naughty.notify({text="release"}) end))
>
Prints press, but doesn't naughtify release. Also breaks all Mod1+Shift
combinations, like M-S-c for close window... When I substitute Shift_L with
p, release works...
So, key press combination of just modifiers works "somehow", but key release
doesn't. In principle, modkeys alone should be bindable as they generate key
events like any other key...
