Bug description:
WORKAROUND 1:
Run CCSM and under "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" change the key binding for "Key to
show the launcher" to something else (e.g. Super+U). Then log out and in again.
As long as no compiz plugin is bound to the single Super key any more, compiz
will no longer block other apps from binding to Super+other_keys.
WORKAROUND 2:
1. Write a script or figure out the command to do the action you want.
2. Run ccsm.
3. Enable the "Commands" plugin
4. In the Commands settings, fill in the command line you want and bind it to
key Super+P.
Now Unity will run your specified command on Super+P, but still handle the
Super key as usual.
[Precise SRU Justification]
[Impact] Any shortcut with Super, Hyper, Meta virtual modifiers does
not work
[Test Case] Attach an external monitor to the laptop, press Super+P,
it should do the video switch as this function is implemented in
gnome-settings-daemon. A patch in comment #12 is now accepted
upstream and a test package with that patch is available in comment
#14. From the test result, the patch at least fixes Unity-2D.
[Regression Potential] The patch is accepted upstream and is also
cherry-picked in the gnome-3-4 branch of g-s-d git tree. g-s-d version
in Precise is 3.4.2. So the risk of regression should be rather low.
[Other] I prepare a debdiff in comment #31 for convenience. I hope the
patch can be in both Quantal and Precise.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Using : 12.04 Beta 1, updated. and Unity.
In 11.10 clicking:
- the function key (Fn) + (F1) allowed to switch between the laptop
screen and the external monitor.
After upgrading to 12.04 this no more works and instead I get an
unexpected behavior: see the video.
