Keyboard Shortcuts settings Fedora 17
Keyboard Shortcuts settings Fedora 17
With Fedora 17 Alfa even the workaround stopped working. In the Keyboard Shortcuts screent it is possible to set for example for starting web browser with Win+F (Super+F), but the setting will not work. Michal Ambroz Filled bug upstream on gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672343 This is Upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662580 This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Still broken in F18. Can't even set the shortcuts through the GUI.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This appears to still be broken in Fedora 20, in two different ways: 1. When I go into the keyboard shortcuts control panel and attempt to set Windows-Key-L to the lock screen shortcut, as soon as I hit the windows key in sets the shortcut to "Level3 Shift" without letting me enter the L. I.e., I don't think it's treating the key as a modifier key. 2. When I do "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver '<Mod4>l'", it sets the shortcut (according to the control panel) to "Mod4+Super+Hyper+L", and Windows-Key-L still doesn't lock the screen. The referenced GNOME bug claims to be fixed in gnome-shell 3.8, but that fix does not seem to have propagated in a meaningful way to Fedora 20. THis issue has been fixed upstream in GNOME, and now works correctly for me in Fedora 20 (with GNOME 3.12) and on Fedora 21. If you are still experiencing this issue on Fedora 21, feel free to reopen this bug. (In reply to Ryan Lerch from comment #11) > THis issue has been fixed upstream in GNOME, and now works correctly for me > in Fedora 20 (with GNOME 3.12) and on Fedora 21. <confused>How do I get GNOME 3.12 in Fedora 20?</confused> NVM the Fedora 20 question. I've upgraded to Fedora 21, and I am still unable to set the shortcut for lock screen to <Mod4>l. Both of the problems I described in comment 10 persist. If it "now works correctly for [you]" as per comment 11, can you please describe exactly WHAT works correctly and HOW? I.e., using my simple example from comment 10, how can I set the key sequence <Mod4>l to lock the screen? Thanks. I can confirm that your simple example in comment 11 works for me: 1. I can set shortcuts starting with <super>, e.g. <super+L> for locking the screen. 2. org.gnome.settings-daemon.media-keys screensaver is set to '<Mod4>l' I am working on F21 workstation, GNOME 3.14. I had a similiar issue with GNOME 3.13 but this one was fixed. Fascinating. I'm on Fedora 21 and I see entirely different behavior. When you run xev, put your mouse over the xev window, and hit your Mod4 key, what does xev say the key is? For me, it says it's, "ISO_Level3_Shift". comment #15: the xev window does not even get the <super> key, only gnome-shell seems to get it. using $ xinput test works fine and gives me key ID 133. Do you use any special keyboard layouts? xinput test on my keyboard also gives me key ID 133 for the Windows key. I am not, as far as I know, using any special keyboard layout. I'm not sure how to integrate GNOME to find out if I've got something configured that I don't know or have forgotten about. The Keyboard control panel says my Language is "English (United States), Formats are "United States (English), and Input Sources is "English (US)". The keyboard in question is a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard, though I'm not sure that's relevant since as noted above I'm seeing the same key ID as you. Digging down further into this, "xmodmap -pm" says that Super_L and Hyper_L are mapped to mod4, but the keyboard map that I get by going to the Keyboard control panel, then "Input Sources", then selecting "English (US)" and clicking on the little keyboard icon, doesn't even have Super_L or Hyper_L keys on it; it correctly labels my Windows key as "Level3 Shift". "xmodmap -pm" says that my Windows key (ISO_Level3_Shift) is actually ampped to mod5, not mod4. I am able to successfully map my Windows key+L to lock the screen with this command: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver '<Mod5>l' So I now have a workaround from the command line, but this does not change the fact that I am _not_ able to perform this same mapping from within the keyboard control panel... Typing Windows+L after selecting "New Accelerator" for the Lock Screen shortcut changes the shortcut to "Level3 Shift when I hit the windows key, then when I hit the 'l' moves the highlighted item to "Log out" as if it thinks I'm done entering the last shortcut and have tried to move on to a different one by typing 'l' as the first letter of "Log out". The control panel applet doesn't appear to know about Mod5. This seems to work in Fedora 21. Just mapped the Screensaver lockout to Win-L using the gnome-control-panel. My Win key seems to be mapped to Super_L (0x85 / 133). When running xev and pressing some unmaped combo like Win-e I actually get keypress for "e", keyrelease "e", keyrelease Super_L. I do not get keypress for Super_L (as it is probably captured by gnome-shell). $ xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb) It seems like there are two questions here: (1) why is my keycode 133 mapping to ISO_Level3_Shift instead of Super_L? (2) Why can't the shortcuts applet handle mod5 the same way it handles mod4? This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Comment 18 and Comment 20 still apply in Fedora 22. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
