** Summary changed: - Changing HUD key from 'Alt' to 'Alt' changes behaviour + Changing HUD key from 'Alt' to 'Alt' changes behaviour when numlock is on ** Description changed: - Problem is likely in "54_enable_alt_tap_in_shortcut.patch" in gnome- - control-center. - 1. Initially, note that both HUD (using left alt) and window management menu (using alt-space) work properly. The HUD shortcut in Keyboard Settings is listed as "Alt L". - 2. Click on the setting to change it, and tap the left alt key. - 3. The shortcut now reads as "Mod2 + Alt L" (note the addition of the "Mod2"). The HUD is still assigned to left alt, but using alt-space now *also* brings up the HUD, and not the window management menu like it should. + 2. Make sure your keyboard's numlock is on. + 3. Click on the setting to change it, and tap the left alt key. + 4. The shortcut now reads as "Mod2 + Alt L" (note the addition of the "Mod2"). The HUD is still assigned to left alt, but using alt-space now *also* brings up the HUD, and not the window management menu like it should. CCSM can be used to restore the correct shortcut.
