Which is to be expected, becauset he Wisker menu will have a passible grab on the modifier, triggering any time the modifier is pressed. Which is exactly why I reckon using a single modifier as a shortcut is wrong, modifiers are, as their name implies, to modify the behavior of other keys. > > What I feel it's as if the keyboard shortcut for apps conflicts with WM > shortcuts, or they both understand <modifiers> keys differently.

Every single application is free to have a passive grab on any key and react the way it wants. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
