Hello, I'm trying to learn using Awesome on a Debian Squeeze system : - awesome Debian package, version 3.4.6-1 - with Gnome-session (2.30...)
I use a specific rc.lua, mainly because I use an unusual french dvorak keyboard setup called Bépo, and got a rc.lua sample here : http://bepo.fr/wiki/Awesome I've done some small translations, adaptations, and I run the Awesome session through gnome-session (called from my .Xsession script). I've started to learn keyboard shortcuts, but faced a problem : some shortcuts doesn't work. I thought at first about a syntax problem in rc.lua, but actually found that many of « client » keyboard shortcuts didn't work... I was unable to : - close windows (remapped to Mod4+Shift+x) - maximize it (remapped to Mod4+m) - top/not on top (remapped to Mod4+j) etc. Testing on terminal windows, the cursor only blinks and no more action from Awesome. I tried to set another key shortcut for a function, and found that that new shortcut worked but not the other ! I then thought about something filtering these keys before Awesome get them, and found that lauching awesome without using a Gnome session, the key shortcuts are working !! So the problem seems to be in Gnome and not Awesome, but I don't see what can filter these keys. I've checked Gnome's key shortcuts, without anything having 'Mod4', only about specific 'music' keycodes (XF86Audio*) and few other keys combinations... Does somebody have a guess about what in Gnome is filtering such key shortcuts ? Also I wonder if I should try to build myself a more recent version of Awesome for a Debian Squeeze system, or if I safely keep this 3.4.6 version ? Thanks for any help, Fred. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
