--- Comment #58 from Andre Miranda <andre...@xfce.org> --- Here are the results of my little survey: Cinnamon: - Super alone (handled on release) opens menu - Super+arrows tiles windows - Super+d shows desktop I found that muffin uses XGrabKey and cinnamon-settings-daemon uses XIGrabKeycode But nothing about special handling for super key, neither XRecord usage https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/blob/130d6f00d4fb7ba468d462bf1447e8c3bc6d9dd8/src/core/keybindings.c#L936 https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon/blob/a74a48da2892abc93848d5b26c0c2adf68f7f67d/plugins/common/csd-keygrab.c#L76 Gnome: Similar behavior and code to cinnamon (obviously) Plasma: - Super alone (handled on release) opens menu - Super+arrows tiles windows (not the default, can be set) - Super+p opens display switcher No traces of XIGrabKeycode, XGrabKey or XRecord in kwin I couldn't find out what's their "settings-daemon" or the component responsible for global hotkeys Deepin: - Super alone (handled on release) opens menu - Super+left/right switches workspaces - Super+up/down maximizes/restores windows I'm almost certain it uses XRecord to handle modifiers on release: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/dde-daemon/blob/50c198f69cf8bbcf1a928d676acb0bf4c952b724/keybinding/shortcuts/xrecord_event_handler.go Mate: Super alone cannot be assigned to anything i3: Super ($mod) alone cannot be assigned to anything Unless XInput2's grab of Super does not prevent other windows to receive events of Super as modifier, I couldn't find the proper fix :'( XRecord is too much hack to be introduced in Xfce's code IMHO. For now, xcape -e 'Super_L=Control_L|Escape' on start up frees Super to be used as modifier, not an official fix, but a simple workaround. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list Xfce-bugs@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
