Public bug reported:
I'm using xbindkeys (apt list shows: xbindkeys/xenial,now 1.8.6-1 amd64
[installed]). My ~/.xbindkeysrc file contains entries I can use to
launch/switch to an app using a shell script named jumpapp
(https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp). Here's part of my ~/.xbindkeysrc:
keystate_numlock = enable
keystate_scrolllock = enable
keystate_capslock = enable
#Raise/Run xterm
"/usr/bin/jumpapp xterm"
m:0x50 + c:28
Mod2+Mod4 + t
This uses "<Windows_key>-t" to launch xterm. I got 'Mod2+Mod4 + t' by
using the xbindkeys-config 'Get Key' feature.
The problem I'm seeing is that sometimes the "Windows" key is captured
as:
Mod2+Mod4
and sometimes it's captured as:
Mod4
and other times it's captured as:
Mod4+Super_L
Most of the time it seems to like Mod2+Mod4. Every once in a while my
key combination stops working. I've created 3 .xbindkeysrc files, each
with the different "Windows" key combinations. When this problem
occurs, I bring up xbindkeys-config, get the "current" Windows key
combination, and I copy/paste the right one to ~/.xbindkeysrc and reload
xbindkeys.
The only keyboards I use are the built-in one in my laptop, and a
Logitech Illuminated Keyboard (USB). I've tried using xbindkeys-config
on both keyboards using 'Get Key' and they both give the same results.
