Hello,
I downloaded a new copy of Cygwin in the last 5 days (effectively started from
scratch) and am trying to use XWin on a Windows 7 virtual machine running an
old proprietary X program (it's called x6530 which is a terminal emulator for a
proprietary terminal built originally by Tandem Computers and now owned by
Hewlett Packard.)
I start up the server and window manager using the following command:
/usr/bin/setsid \
/usr/bin/XWin \
-mwextwm \
-multimonitors \
-internalwm \
-nowinkill \
&
I'm trying to use multi-key sequences like Control_L-Alt_L-F6,
Shift_L-Control_L-F6, etc. I do see that xev recognizes these sequences but
the Control_L and Alt_L keys seem to be filtered out when I run x6530. All it
seems to get is F6 or Shift_L-F6.
I've tried different window managers, run /usr/bin/XWin directly, used the
right-hand modification keys like Control_R, etc. and no matter what I try, I
see the same filtering behavior in x6530. I have recently used exceed
(formally owned by Hummingbird) with x6530 and the Control_L and Alt_L keys are
passed to x6530 as expected so my suspicion is that XWin is responsible for the
unwanted behavior of filtering out the keys like Control_L and Alt_L keys.
Is this the case? Is there a way to get these sequences "unfiltered".
If there is additional information I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
-David Cutler
