Using xev from an xterm: When I press `altLeft' in the square input
box I get no response but if I click 'altLeft' repeatedly I eventually
get the following:
xev output:
KeyPress event, serial 45, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x2bd, subw 0x0, time 139977204, (-860,815), root:(627,878),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x2bd, subw 0x0, time 139977219, (-860,815), root:(627,878),
state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
So apparently `altLeft' only works intermittently and
irregularly. That is, there seems to be no pattern to when it works
and when it does not.
I want that key for use in `xbindkeys' script that I've used for years
`ALT_RIGHT' works reliably but is really awkward to use for me.
Further, using this same setup; (lubuntu guest on 'openindiana' host)
`AltLeft' has worked as expected and reliably until several versions
back. Covering several months ... maybe 4 - 7 mnths.
(Sorry, I made no notes of the exact version or date when the problem
first showed up)
All hardware, plus the version of vbox and of `openindiana' have
remained the same.
Any ideas why `altLeft' only registers a key press intermittently?
