I have also discovered that if I hold down tablet button 3 or 7, and press left or right, then the virtual desktop does switch. Which lead me to try other combinations:
xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key left" - button 3 acts as left cursor. I can hold down ctrl+alt and use it to shift the desktop to the left, or press it to move the text cursor left in a terminal. xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key alt left" - button 3 generates a D character in a terminal. Holding down ctrl or alt while pressing it makes no difference. Holding down button 3 and pressing keyboard left generates one left event on the first press, then subsequent presses of left generate D characters. xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key ctrl left" - button 3 moves the terminal cursor left one word. Holding down alt and pressing button 3 generates a D character for each press of button 3. Holding down button 3 and pressing alt+left shifts the desktop to the left. xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key alt ctrl" - Works as expected: button 3 has no immediate effect. Holding it down then pressing left (or right) shifts the desktop. Holding down left then pressing button 3 also shifts the desktop. So it looks like the problem might be something to do with using modifiers and normal keys in the same button? -- core keybindings ctrl+alt+left/right broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298775 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
