When I switch to the tag with rdesktop it "sees" that win-key is still pressed and accordingly remote windows opens up the start menu. I don't know much about X11 programming, but isn't there an option to make a keypress "private" once the keypress is "used up" by dwm? As to "alt-tab", or whatever alternative people are using, I still don't see any use in feeding this shortcut to an application after having been used by dwm for whatever purpose.

Re: [dwm] bloq may used to ignore keybindings
think of alt+tab. btw. There's a switch to prevent rdesktop from grabbing keys: -K Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus. 2008/4/23, Antoni Grzymala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Enno Gottox Boland dixit (2008-04-23, 15:35): > > > > > Which brings another question to mind on a related topic: > > > > > > Is it possible to prevent applications to receive dwm-specific > > > keystrokes upon focusing them?

Re: [dwm] bloq may used to ignore keybindings
This is one of these bug-features. It should be fixed in rdesktop. not in dwm. 2008/4/23, Antoni Grzymala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Premysl Hruby dixit (2008-04-23, 14:27): > > > > > Maybe we can also let configurable this bloq. key in config.h and > > > use any other locked key for this. > > > > > I prefer to use Mod4 (win key) as MODKEY, so I have no keybinding clash. > > > Agreed, mod4 is far more comfortable. > > Which brings another question to mind on a related topic: > > Is it possible to prevent applications to receive dwm-specific > keystrokes upon focusing them?

Agreed, mod4 is far more comfortable. Which brings another question to mind on a related topic: Is it possible to prevent applications to receive dwm-specific keystrokes upon focusing them? My particular problem is that I often work on remote Windows machines via rdesktop and when I switch my view to the tag with the rdesktop client, the client (and subsequently the windows machine) receives the already-pressed win-key event (I use mod4 to switch tags) and opens up the windows "start menu" which is very annoying. So it it possible to prevent passing pressed dwm-function keys to applications? Regards, -- [a] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

[dwm] bloq may used to ignore keybindings
Recently I tried wmii (for a few minutes :P) and notice that if I press bloq.mayus I was able to use alt-1, alt-2 to change between the tabs in firefox. This makes me think that we can probably take the same idea for dwm to make it ignore the keybindings. Maybe we can also let configurable this bloq. key in config.h and use any other locked key for this. --pancake
