The menus get an input grab on the X server, and take all keyboard input. Unfortuantely, on some laptops these various special-function buttons are implemented as returning keyboard scan-codes, which are probably also grabbed by the application presenting the menu.
This said, on Jaunty, and using the "hotkey-setup" package to process events for my laptop's brightness up/down keycodes, I'm discovering that they do still work whilst menus are open. -- Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't work in Intrepid Alpha 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
