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. ** Affects: xbindkeys-config (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/1682319 Title: xbindkeys key keeps changing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xbindkeys-config/+bug/1682319/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
