[Bug 40866] Re: [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts
A super easier workaround for settings SUPER_L+D to the shortcut show desktop using gnome-keybinding-properties without compiz : instead of : - click on the right line of gnome-keybinding-properties GUI - press SUPER_L (windows key) and leave it pressed - press the d key you must do : - press SUPER_L (windows key) and leave it pressed - click on the right line of gnome-keybinding-properties GUI - press the d key - the only difference is that the keybinding will be referenced as Mod4+D instead of SUPER_L+D -- [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 40866] Re: [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts
Note that an easier workaround is to use gconf directly. In gconf-editor apps/metacity/window_keybindings/ , i can type, for example, SuperUp for the raise and SuperDown for lower (Tested on Hardy Alpha 5, no Compiz activated) This may shows that it's a simple parsing error from gnome-keybinding-properties -- [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Same problem here on Ubuntu 7.10. Workaround: Run gconf-editor Change keys in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings apps/metacity/window_keybindings Say Mod3 or Mod4 or Mod5 to tell the key you mean, Mod4m You can find and set the modification bits with xmodmap: $ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3Super_L (0x7f) mod4Hyper_L (0x80) mod5Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x74), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) If your map does not look like this one, use xmodmap to change the modification bits: clear Mod4 add Mod4 = Hyper_L or similar An alternative is to use xkbcomp (read out keyboard table, change, read back in), but this is trickier. -- [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

For the xkbcomp workaround to set the modifier bits correctly: Read out the xkbcomp with $ xkbcomp -o my-xkbcomp :0.0 Modify the xkbcomp map with your editor. Read it back in with $ xkbcomp my-xkbcomp :0.0 (ignore the warnings of undefined keys). Attached is the diff of my xkbcomp, if this helps. See at the end of the diff to see how to change the modifier bits. ** Attachment added: diff of default xkbcomp (qwerty) vs. my xkbcomp with changed modifier bits http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11372465/xkbcomp.diff -- [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
