This works fine here. Maybe some other application is stealing your keys, like totem or beagle-search ? Nope, no chance there as they're my multimedia keys. I've manually set them with 'setkeycodes'. I also, just to make sure the bug was valid, tried with crazy combos like < ctrl alt shift 5 > but it still didn't work. I'll try again though, it's been 2 rhythmnox updates since I created this bug. Stewart Nope, still happening in rhythmbox-0.9.5-2. It seems now that with the rhythmbox I list above and the new Gnome 2.16 even restarting Rhythmbox doesn't help it "realize" the new keys, and it's not a Gnome bug because for example I can change the 'Eject' function to the key I (try to) use for "Next" and it works right away. I noticed this is on the FC6Target - We're only a month or so away from the final and it's not assigned yet - Is this because of lack of information? I can try doing traces if it's needed. ** Edit: I just noticed that it is indeed assigned to Monty - Shouldn't the bug status be "ASSIGNED" then? It does not work currently because Ray took out the key grabbing from gnome-settings-daemon, and will add it to the multimedia apps instead. I expect him to get back to this soon. FC6 is due the 17th - Do you thing Ray will add them back in before then? Still not working. Used to work with FC5. Should the bug be reassigned to Ray, too? Ray, i'm giving this to you since you seem to be working on the key bindings stuff So the keybinding code is back in control-center (with the restriction that you can only use it with keys that seem like they're multimedia keys). The rhythmbox in tomorrow's rawhide reverts back to depending on control-center to assign the multimedia keys. Rudi, can you try the control-center and rhythmbox from rawhide and see if they fix your problem? If you're not running rawhide I can push things to updates-testing I'll check tomorrow and post back ASAP. I'm currently running rawhide so everything should work out OK. Seems to work for me now... I'm sorry for the mistake, I forgot to logout and check if they still work - This morning when I logged in again the hotkeys didn't work. This is odd - This time they work. Two times it didn't, it does now, I'll come back to let you know what happens the next time I log on. Not working anymore with : control-center-2.17.90-2.fc7 rhythmbox-0.9.7-6.fc7 (In reply to comment #15) > Not working anymore with : > control-center-2.17.90-2.fc7 > rhythmbox-0.9.7-6.fc7 Recent control-centers use D-Bus to push the multimedia keys to the applications, rather than set the keysyms. Rhythmbox hasn't been updated for that just yet[1] Are your keys mapped using the control-center, or "by hand"? Could you please double-check whether "xev" shows the right keysym for those keys? [1]: see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398184 I'm currently using a 'Generic 105 key' keyboard layout, no keys set by hand. xev shows the keys (I have three) being pressed but keysym is 0x0... Although Gnome shows the keysyms fine, they are or similar to something like 0x90a. Either way, it works for other bindings such as Eject, so I doubt that's the issue. Yeah, that's definitely the above problem. The old multimedia keys code was completely busted (I wrote it myself, but the way of doing things changed and we ended up with a broken system[1]), so it has now changed to using D-Bus to push the key events to the media players. I'll do a build with the upstream patch as soon as I can, it should fix your particular problem. [1]: ACME used to handle only keycodes, when we merged it in the GNOME control-center, we started handling keys with keysyms, and it completely broke some assumptions that were made in the code. Should be fixed in rhythmbox-0.9.7-11.fc7, let me know if it fixes it for you. Works again. |
