Bugzilla 558 requests to change the behavoir of shift+<numpad arrow keys>
> In reasonable X GUIs (GNome/KDE), shift + <regular arrow key> selects text. > But if i press shift + <numpad arrow key>, i get numbers! So the current XKB > behavior makes Shift kind of like the "lockless" version of Numlock, which is > insane, IMHO. the numpad keys are *arrow* keys (unless numlock is turned on) > by definition. Shift should have no effect on them. The current behavior is > contrary to what Windows users are used to (and highly annoying for this > reason). I see no reason to have a different behaviour to Microsoft in this > regard (seeing as though this can potentially piss off 90+% of users), apart > from the sake of wanting to be different (which is not a good reason). > Instead of a being just a whinger, I provide this patch (please apply with -l) This requests sounds reasonable so I would like to find out if somebody has a strong opinion on this issue. If not I will commit the supplied fix. Egbert. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
