RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description shendl 2012-08-23 08:43:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
   Ctrl-Shift composite key not work
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
     all

How reproducible:
    edit spicy.c file to edit some accelerator to use Ctrl-Shift-XXX  can produce this program.


Steps to Reproduce:
  edit spicy.c file. search " .accelerator = " ,and replace accelerator to <Control><shift>XXX  format.
   Example:
   replace  .accelerator = "<shift>F12",  to
   .accelerator = " <Control><shift>F12", 
  
  
Actual results:
    If you press ctrl-shift-f12 can activate this action.
   And you press ctrl-f12 also can activate this action!

Expected results:
    ctrl-shift-f12 can activate this action,and other composite key can't activate this action!

< elmarco> teuf: that seems like a gtk accelerator limitation to me
Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-10-16 16:20:48 UTC 
I can't reproduce the issue.

However I understand why you get confused. Customizing the gtk accelarator isn't enough, you need to configure the ~/.config/spice/setting

[general]
grab-sequence=Control_L+Shift_L+F12

gtk correctly handles ctrl+shift+f12 by the change you made, and spice-gtk too if this setting

In fact the gtk accelerator isn't really necessary, it is only there as a hint in the menu, but only spice-gtk can handle the ungrab key combination. When the widget doesn't have the grab, spicy will still call ungrab on the widget, but then it is really useless.

Unfortunately, spice-gtk key combination notation is different from gtk, so I proposed a patch to remove the menu entry, and also display the correct sequence in the status bar.
