Public bug reported: Since Ubuntu 11.10, the config examples in ~/.xbindkeysrc are enabled by default:
#"xbindkeys_show" control+shift + q # set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard) "xterm" c:41 + m:0x4 # specify a mouse button "xterm" control + b:2 The shortcut ctrl+f example for xterm is particulary annoying as this is a much used shortcut in lots of softwares for searches. After an upgrade, users see this shortcut acting strangely as they probably won't make a connection to xbindkeys which they might have installed years before. See for instance: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66456/after-upgrading-to-11-10-when-pressing-ctrlf-xterm-is-popping-up It would be great to comment those example in this file to avoid confusion. Thanks a lot. ** Affects: xbindkeys (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902224 Title: The xbindkeysrc example ctrl+f to start xterm enabled by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xbindkeys/+bug/902224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
