Description of problem: Certain combinations of keys involving Shift can't be assigned as a shortcut. This has already been fixed upstream: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8744 and in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721669 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libxfce4ui-4.10.0-9.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Define a shortcut in xfce4-settings-manager -> window manager -> keyboard using Shift and an ordinary letter. E.g.: "<Alt><Shift>a". Actual results: It will be assigned without Shift ("<Alt>a"). Shortcuts, comprised of modifier keys only, work as expected. Expected results: "<Alt><Shift>a".
Thanks for the report and for the link to the patch. I will try to apply the patch and add a link to the package for testing here today.
Can you try this rpm and see if it works/breaks anything else? http://nonamedotc.fedorapeople.org/misc/libxfce4ui-4.10.0-11.fc21.x86_64.rpm In my tests, <Shift> is accepted as a modifier, but it does not combine with any other key - but I would like a confirmation of this behavior. Thanks!
$ rpm -qa libxfce4ui libxfce4ui-4.10.0-11.fc21.x86_64 Assigning shift as a shortcut will "work" but not in a combination. Again, I would appreciate a confirmation of this behavior.
(In reply to Mukundan Ragavan from comment #2) > Can you try this rpm and see if it works/breaks anything else? I've updated to libxfce4ui-4.10.0-11.fc21.x86_64 and after playing with the shortcut editor for a while, I didn't notice any obvious breakage. The use case described in comment #0 works as expected. > In my tests, <Shift> is accepted as a modifier, but it does not combine with > any other key - but I would like a confirmation of this behavior. > Assigning shift as a shortcut will "work" but not in a combination. Again, I > would appreciate a confirmation of this behavior. I'm not sure what you mean by "does not combine with any other key". I can assign shortcuts using Shift in combination with other keys, e.g.: "<Shift><Alt>s". One peculiarity I've noticed is that different shortcuts are created depending on the order of pressing the modifier keys, e.g.: <Primary>Alt_L vs <Alt>Control_L <Shift>Meta_L vs <Alt>Shift_R This is not a new behavior and some people might prefer it this way, just mentioning it for the record. In other cases, though, the order isn't significant, e.g.: <Primary>Shift_R + s -> <Primary><Shift>s <Shift>Control_R + s -> <Primary><Shift>s <Alt>Shift_L + s -> <Shift><Alt>s <Shift>Meta_L + s -> <Shift><Alt>s Let me know if you need me to try anything else.
Thanks for testing. I will submit this as an update for testing and let it live there for longer than usual after talking to Kevin and Christoph. Please do report any breakages in the meantime here. In my system, all my keyboard functions work as before but I would certainly appreciate another pair of eyes. :) (In reply to Tomas Heinrich from comment #4) > > I'm not sure what you mean by "does not combine with any other key". > I can assign shortcuts using Shift in combination with other keys, e.g.: > "<Shift><Alt>s". > Sorry for the confusion. I just noticed that I have made a mistake in my tests here (I assigned the shortcut to a program that I removed recently! Sigh!).
