Description Maciek Borzecki 2011-11-11 20:42:46 UTC
Description of problem:
It's not possible to use keyboard shortcuts mapped to sequence including <Control>. For example, default shortcut for menu is mapped to <Control>Escape, but that doesn't work. I need to assign the key again, however pressing Ctrl+Escape will map the sequence to <Primary>Escape.

This is caused by a change in gtk:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=1f6a921158b5a4fa80ea2e844ce25aad04101aaf

gnome-control-center has a workaround for the problem: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?h=gnome-3-2&id=e46180ec18192a7954b4e75bca1594ec3ca3ae62

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-settings-4.8.3-1.fc16.i686
gtk2-2.24.7-3.fc16.i686


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a key which includes <Control> in the key sequence
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
the shortcut doesn't work

Expected results:
it works

This is upstream: 

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8056

Perhaps we can adapt the workaround.

Comment 2 Amir Malekpour 2011-11-15 09:39:42 UTC
This bug exists in F16, Gnome 3.2 as well. I myself and apparently some others are experiencing the same problem. 
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/260/ctrl-key-does-not-work-for-setting-shortcuts

The link to the workaround you've posted here does not work, do you mind posting the workaround here or sending a working link ?

This is relevant to bug 752591

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 23:01:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

I kinda still see the problem on Fedora 17 with xfce4-settings-4.10.0-3.fc17.x86_64. I can set Control + Alt (even if it turns into <Primary><Alt>something) but not Control + Shift. Is Control + Shift supposed to work?

This behaviour is still the same with

$ rpm -q xfce4-settings
xfce4-settings-4.10.1-2.fc19.x86_64

Setting version 19.

Comment 9 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2015-01-12 09:42:11 UTC
I no longer see the problem with xfce4-settings-4.10.1-5.fc21.x86_64. I can create Ctrl + Shift + P, it's stored as <Primary><Shift>P and it works. Can you check on your installation?

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 13:38:50 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.
