Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
In Compiz Config Settings Manager I can see the declared mapping to
Super-W which triggers "Initiate Window Picker for All Windows", and I
was trying to add another mapping of my own for "Initiate Window Picker
for Window Group". However, if I want to restore the behaviour I had in
Lucid and Maverick, I can't seem to choose my preferred keyboard
shortcut, because Unity intercepts almost any use of Super, causing the
launcher to be revealed instead.
Selecting Shift+Super+W or Super+E as the keyboard mapping for "Initiate
Window Picker for Window Group" now does nothing, because Unity seems to
intercept every use of the Super key. I consider this to be a bug which
breaks Compiz Config Settings Manager. I don't see how the Compiz devs
can override the Unity behaviour unless Unity changes the way it handles
this. They have a very mature configuration panel which allows you to
configure keys and detect conflicts between the demands made by
different plugins. Unity seems to plain ignore it.
Presumably someone specified a manual workaround to allow Super+W to
make it through to the Compiz Scale plugin . In advance of a fix in the
way Unity intercepts keys, to play nicely with Compiz Config Settings
Manager, can someone share with me where this was done, so I can add my
own workaround so my preferred "Window Group" Scale behaviour can be
triggered by my own Super-Key combination?
