Is there some trick to enabling this functionality
Yes. Try again after applying this patch (and restarting X). ``` --- usr/X11R7/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.orig 2024-03-18 22:47:19.000000000 +0000 +++ usr/X11R7/lib/X11/XKeysymDB 2024-03-25 21:36:39.970222356 +0000 @@ -370,6 +370,9 @@ XF86_ClearGrab :1008FE21 XF86_Next_VMode :1008FE22 XF86_Prev_VMode :1008FE23 +XF86LogWindowTree :1008FE24 +XF86LogGrabInfo :1008FE25 + usldead_acute :100000A8 usldead_grave :100000A9 ``` You could also just supply the key-sequence for this directly: ``` $ xdotool key Ctrl+Alt+F11 ```
or should I file a problem report?
Yes, with: ``` diff -urN a/xsrc/external/mit/libX11/dist/src/XKeysymDB b/xsrc/external/mit/libX11/dist/src/XKeysymDB --- a/xsrc/external/mit/libX11/dist/src/XKeysymDB 2010-11-28 07:34:33.000000000 +0000 +++ b/xsrc/external/mit/libX11/dist/src/XKeysymDB 2024-03-25 21:36:39.970222356 +0000 @@ -370,6 +370,9 @@ XF86_ClearGrab :1008FE21 XF86_Next_VMode :1008FE22 XF86_Prev_VMode :1008FE23 +XF86LogWindowTree :1008FE24 +XF86LogGrabInfo :1008FE25 + usldead_acute :100000A8 usldead_grave :100000A9 ``` Don't ask me why all the other keysyms just above have the extra `_'. Going by the dates on that XKeysymDB file, it's rather old, and things may have changed since then. I also can't find that file in the tarballs in: https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/, but, I didn't search very hard--you should ask on the tech-x11 ML. -RVP
