Re: xorg Digest, Vol 163, Issue 8
My xKeyboard-config is version 2.23.1-1 (so it is the most recent version). This keyboard issue seems pretty common for Nedit users, which is why Nedit lists it in the "Help->Problems/Defects" option. I am quoting the text here: QUOTE P: Dialogs don't automatically get keyboard focus when they pop up. S: Most X Window managers allow you to choose between two categories of keyboard focus models: pointer focus, and explicit focus. Pointer focus means that as you move the mouse around the screen, the window under the mouse automatically gets the keyboard focus. NEdit users who use this focus model should set "Popups Under Pointer" in the Default Settings sub menu of the preferences menu in NEdit. Users with the explicit focus model, in some cases, may have problems with certain dialogs, such as Find and Replace. In MWM this is caused by the mwm resource startupKeyFocus being set to False (generally a bad choice for explicit focus users). NCDwm users should use the focus model "click" instead of "explicit", again, unless you have set it that way to correct specific problems, this is the appropriate setting for most explicit focus users. UNQUOTE So I followed this advice and tried to set the "Popups under pointer" option, but it was selected by default. Then why am I facing this problem? Anyway, I unselect it and restart Nedit, but this does NOT solve the problem. So I set the "popups under pointer" option AGAIN and restart Nedit. This time, It works FINE and all dialogs automatically have keyboard focus when opened. HOWEVER, when I open a second file in a second tab, the problem resurfaces. Is this a bug in NEdit? I don't think it's a bug in nedit, more likely an incompatibility in the window manager, what window manager are you using? Try starting Nedit in server mode (use the "nc" command instead of "nedit," then try opening a file in a new tab, does that solve the problem? ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s

I have installed all the required X packages such as xorg-server, xinit, etc required to run X-Window applications I have noticed that whenever I open ANY dialog, such as "Goto line number", "save as" or "open", the keyboard input does NOT show in the dialog's textbox. For instance, if I open the "goto line number" dialog, and type something, the entered number does not show up in the dialog's textbox .

As long as I hold the middle mouse click, the textbox shows the characters typed in. When I release the mouse click, I can no longer enter anything in the textbox. Is this issue related to xinit? I tried searching online for a solution but didn't find anything.
