[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1459128] Re: metacity no longer honors keybindings without modmask?
please, please, please, revert this! I also noticed this change when going from 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4 to 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4.1. For me, the function keys change between workspaces. When some programs, such as an xterm, have the mouse focus, they steal the definitions of the function keys. Other programs, and the background don't. Likewise, after many, many years of using these shortcuts (long predating ubuntu or metacity), my aged brain cannot rewire itself. For the sake of necessity, I tried converting to alt-Fn instead of Fn, but my fingers get confused most of the time, and it seriously affects my workflow. One should definitely be able to assign the Fn keys as desired - user level preferences should always override the app defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1459128 Title: metacity no longer honors keybindings without modmask?
