[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1113420] Re: Alt+ window menu shortcuts cannot be disabled
This is a general problem across Unity, and it is SUPREMELY annoying. I like to use -t to open a terminal, and various other keyboard shortcuts that use as the only modifier. That has always worked, but it's broken on Unity: when I start an application that has a menu that starts with the letter 't', that application steals the shortcut. Instead of popping up a new terminal, it opens that menu. Even worse, even after quitting the application the keyboard shortcut remains broken. To reproduce: - in Unity settings -> keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Launchers change the "Launch terminal" shortcut to ALT+T - hit -t, new terminial pops up - start Thunderbird or Okular, both of which have a "Tools" menu - note -t now opens the Tools menu - kill the application - hit -t, nothing happens The keyboard shortcut is still there in the settings. Restarting Unity makes it work again. Note that the applications that trigger this use GTK2 and Qt, respectively. There is nothing wrong with an application registering menu keyboard shortcuts -- but the window manager cannot be overruled by an application! Unity's keyboard shortcuts *must* take precedence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1113420 Title: Alt+ window menu shortcuts cannot be disabled Status in Unity: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I find the key ergonomically very useful (it can be pressed with a thumb without moving any of the "letter" fingers) and I would like to use it for many custom keyboard shortcuts (there is a reason why it plays such a big role in Emacs and the whole OS X for that matter).
