[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
Sebastien
I've just installed Karmic Alpha 5 under VirtualBox 3.0.4: it is even
more broken.
It recognises left Windows key + R as "Alt + R" ("Alt + R" comes up as
"Alt + R", too).
It recognises right Windows key as "ISO Level 3 Shift" and won't accept
a modifier.
The XKB xprop settings are the same as on Jaunty.
Maybe this is an artefact of VirtualBox's key mapping, rather than a new
problem? I hope so.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
Well, with Super mapped to the win keys I can now (in Jaunty) use the Windows key in any short-cut, so that appears to be part of this bug fixed. If other Jaunty users can confirm this is fixed then all that remains is to change the default setting when Ubuntu is installed. Would that be a design decision though? If you change it to Super so you can use it as a modifier you lose the ability to use the Windows key on its own (anyone know of a workaround for that?).

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
Great comment, Sam. This is getting complicated. Can I propose a simple solution? In comment 103 of this I described the original upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165343 The maintainer insist it's fixed but I disagreed, so I opened another against libgnomekbd as per his suggestion: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579658 Neither one seems to have gone anywhere. PROBLEM: We can't bind-meta key combinations out of the box without changing configuration and getting unpleasant side-effects. OBSERVATION: Compiz' CCSM tool captures the right keys perfectly out of the box. SOLUTION: Delete the code in GNOME keyboard settings and replace it with CCSM code. Perhaps I'm overlooking some huge technical complexity here, and maybe God kills a kitten every time the CCSM code is run, but really... it better be a big kitten for us not to use it. I'm sure the right fix involves patching libgnomekbd and blah blah blah but life is too short.

I've just read through this entire thread - to summarize: It seems we have two/three issues: 1) The out-of-the-box behaviour only allows the windows key to be used on it's own, not as part of a shortcut using the keyboard shortcut applet 2) The workaround of setting super or meta is mapped to the windows key only makes it work for some commands but not others - someone suggested this is due to whether the shortcuts are stored in different places: Philipp Kohlbecher wrote on 2007-06-04: The difference seems to be that the shortcut for launching the terminal is set in gconf setting /apps/metacity/global_keybindings (as is the shortcut for minimizing all windows to show the desktop, for example), while the shortcut for locking the screen is set in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings (as is the shortcut for launching the web browser, for example) 3) The workaround apparently breaks the behaviour of Alt Gr: alca wrote on 2009-04-27: yesterday i tried the workaround proposed by smkururu and i answered some questions written by me (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/12153/comments/106): changing 'System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Layout Options > Alt/Win key behavior' to 'Meta is mapped to Win keys' the effect is that the AltGr button does not have a behaviour like before: no key-combination is available (i cannot use the character '@' with AltGr + ò, for example) Anyone have anything to add?

I've installed Ubuntu on four completely different kinds of machine and have had this problem on all of them) only partially resolves the issue. I can now assign "Windows+T" for launching the terminal, "Windows+D" for showing the desktop, but I can't assign "Windows+N" (or, indeed, Windows+anything) for opening the home folder (ie starting Nautilus). I /can/ assign Ctrl+Alt+N to open the Home Folder, just not anything beginning with the Windows key. Same thing with lock screen - "Ctrl_Alt_L" works, "Windows+L" doesn't. For clarification - when I say "Windows+Key" I'm talking about "Mod4+Key" (as I said, I turned on "Super is mapped to the win keys" - without that I could only use the Windows key (super as it was called then, not Mod4) on its own). I don't know how relevant it is, but I've always been able to use the windows key properly in CompizConfig, and I note that settings such as the Expo can be changed in Keyboard Shortcuts in gnome or in CompizConfig. When Pedro says "this has been fixed upstream" does that mean the fix is yet to be released, or has been released? If the fix involves users changing the "Super is mapped to the win keys" setting then I really think the default should be changed on there - a novice would never find that!

Christoffer, I remember having this, but can't quite remember the solution. I _think_ it was fixed by doing this: System->Keyboard Then on one of the tabs there's a list of options that you can switch on/off. One of them is about alt keys and the windows key. You have to toggle that switch, which stops the windows key being picked up as a single key press and makes it a modifier.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
Cardy's (#38 above) solution works for me in Gutsy. I am observing the same behaviour as noted above: - Setting "Super is mapped to the Win-keys (default)" in Keyboard Preferences causes Keyboard Shortcuts to accept the Win-key as a modifier - The displayed result is "Mod4+Page_Down" or similar - In gconf-editor, the corresponding key in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/ has a value of e.g. "Page_Down" - The shortcut doesn't actually work. Some additional things I've observed: - Manually changing the gconf key to "Page_Down" or "Page_Down" has no effect. - Trying the same process with "Hyper is mapped to the Win-Keys" set in Keyboard Preferences produces *identical* results (including the values of the gconf keys). - Setting "Press any of Win-keys to choose 3rd level" in Keyboard Preferences causes "Mod5+Key" to be recorded in Keyboard Shortcuts, with a matching "Key" visible via gconf-editor. However, the shortcut does not work. - The fix suggested by Cardy (manually entering Key in gconf-editor) works regardless of *any* settings concerning the Win-keys in Keyboard Preferences.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
I can confirm the behavior reported by Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen. Additionally, I can also confirm that the Windows key is treated as a normal key when setting up the shortcuts through the keyboard shortcuts application. Every time I try to set up a shortcut that uses the WinKey, it is set as "Super L", which I think means "Left Super" and not "L". ccsm captures the shortcuts properly. I managed to setup the shortcut to my desktop to D with gconf-editor, and it works properly, so this sems to be a bug that is purely into the keyboard shortcuts application.

I'm not sure if it's related, but I'm hitting this weird behavior: - super key is treated as normal key rather than a modifier in gnome-shortcuts settings - super key is treated as a modifer in compiz-config-advanced So, when i use ccsm i can setup the super-key to do take care of all window related settings.

I tried the layout tweak with "Super is mapped to the Win-keys" and it doesn't work for me.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
I am having the same behaviour as Joseph Garvin on Gutsy. The Keyboard Shortcuts application is treating the SuperL and SuperR keys as regular keys, not accelerator keys.

I am running Gutsy and having trouble too. Mine lets me set it--it shows up as Mod4+L in the shortcuts dialog, but the key combo won't activate the screensaver.

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
The issue is not fixed for me either as of the Gutsy beta. If I try to set a shortcut to use the Windows/Super key, it just sets the shortcut to be SuperL and ignores whatever else I press (so it's treated as a normal key instead of a modifier). In case it's relevant, I'm using a Dell Vostro 1400, which is supposedly hardware identical to the officially supported Inspiron 1420's, so I would guess they have this issue as well. I haven't tried selecting a different keyboard layout, but there's no generic "Dell Laptop" option, only specifically Latitude. Maybe I'll try that later. In any case it should work out of the box. -- Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 12153] Re: Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts
I can confirm Aaron C. de Bruyn said on 2007-06-03. When in the 'Keyboard' 'Layout Options' 'Alt/Win key behavior' is set to 'Super is mapped to the Win-keys (default)', I'm able to assign keybindings in 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. Where for example I get the text Mod4+R. In gconf-edit stands s. And everything works fine _except_ the keybindings located under /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/ . Any keybinding located here (calculator, browser etc.) can be set, but if it is assigned to a Win+Any key, it does not happen anything. Other keybindings like 'Take a screenshot' work well, even with the Win key involved.

There really needs to be a desktop-wide key-binding manager of some kind that serves all applications. I love the Emacs idea of 'keymaps' and 'keymap prefix' keys. I'd like to reserve combinations involving the "windows logo" key for the window manager, and have it never use a key not involving that one. Could the key with the little "menu" on it be used as a prefix for panel and application menu-bar commands? -- Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
