[Bug 558581] Re: Indicator-applet forcibly overrides Super+m key combo
I've been using indicator-applet-complete since 10.10, but, now that I've upgrade to 12.04 (keeping gnome-classic), it has started hijacking super+s. Although Super+m is still fine. It seems that keyboard shortcuts are generally a mess in Ubuntu, and 12.04 only made it worse. Any shortcuts I assign with Super in System Settings Keyboard Shortcuts won't work until I change Super to Mod4 in gconf-editor. And programs like compiz, unity, or even the lowly indicator-applet(-complete) seem to ignore any settings in either of those places at will. Does anyone know what the schedule is for unifying the setting and unsetting of keyboard shortcuts? Will we have to wait for Quantal Quetzal or beyond for this to be fixed? As things stand, Ubuntu needs a lot fewer innovations, like Unity, and more bugfixes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558581 Title: Indicator-applet forcibly overrides Super+m key combo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/558581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think this is obsolete, no?

This bug is incredibly annoying, and doubtlessly will continue to be until the keybindings are no longer hardcoded. Personally, I am affected by the super+s combo, because I use it for grouping windows with compiz, so switching to indicator-applet-complete is not even a temporary fix.

And without the indicator applet the keyboard indicator does not show what is the name of the current keyboard layout. This is sooo bad...

As long as I was allowed to, I thought that forcibly overrides reflected the problem much better than conflicts with compiz, since compiz is only one of the many programs that are affected by indicator- applet's use of Super+m, and most of the people reporting the bug are reporting conflicts with non-compiz-default bindings. -- Indicator-applet forcibly overrides Super+m key combo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558581 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Non-patch workaround: If you only suffer from indicator-applet overriding super+m and don't care about super+s, you can replace indicator-applet with indicator- applet-complete, and get super+m back.

[Bug 558581] Re: Indicator-applet forcibly overrides Super+m key combo
Inconsistent behavior: Interestingly, after I tried the above workaround, I reverted back to indicator-applet + indicator-applet-session just to check the consistency of the workaround, and I found that indicator-applet no longer overrode super+m on my system. After switching back and forth among a number of different combinations of indicator-applet configurations on the panel (and logging out and back in each time) it seems that indicator-applet night only override the user's own keyboard shortcut for super+m if /usr/lib/indicator- applet/indicator-applet runs before /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator at session startup. As the run order is not always consistent, sometimes indicator-applet overrides super+m and sometimes not. This goes a long way to explain how this bug could exist at the same time as its duplicate (actually inverse) Bug #577226. They are both reflections of a deeper problem: there currently seems to be sense of precedence among programs when it comes to setting global key bindings.
