I think you can override bindings inside the app via X resources, but my suspect is that the window manager "captures" the mouse or key event, so it does not arrive at the terminal any more. I'm confused. You say it's working in the Fedora 32 template for you, yet you also say the key event is captured, so it's not arriving at the terminal anymore. How can it be working for you if the key event is being captured by the window manager? You missed something: I' not the one who had the problem; I'm one who tried to help / explain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
