There is a fix in testing here: https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/quantal-compiz-unity-testing (ppa:timo-jyrinki/quantal-compiz-unity-testing).
My findings: I tested the packages in the PPA on a Dell XPS13 with 12.04 and all of the latest updates from precise-updates. My findings: 1) The display switch hotkey now works; pressing it cycles through video modes as expected. The 'p' character is not emitted. 2) A side effect of the fix is that the dash opens when you press the display switch hotkey I think the side effect needs to be fixed. Some more information about the side effect: * The display switch hotkey is Fn-F1 * If you press Fn-F1 and release both Fn and F1 at the same time, the dash opens * If you press Fn-F1 and release F1 before releasing Fn, the the dash does not open * If you press Fn-F1 and release Fn before releasing F1, the dash opens * If you press Fn-F1 and do not release either key, the Unity keyboard shortcuts window opens The packages I tested from the PPA were: compiz 1:0.9.7.8+bzr3121-0ubuntu2~test1 unity 5.18.0-0ubuntu2~test1 and the corresponding versions of libunity-core-5.0-5, unity-common, unity-services, compiz-core, compiz-gnome, and compiz-plugins-default -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950160 Title: Unity blocks other programs from binding globally to Super+* (* = any key) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/950160/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
