<![CDATA[Xfce Forums / Keyboard Shortcuts not working]]> http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7138 Sat, 11 May 2013 13:32:14 +0000 FluxBB <![CDATA[Re: Keyboard Shortcuts not working]]> http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=29746#p29746 I am using package that comes with my distribution (XFCE 4.8.0.3 on Debian 7.0).

I wanted to share the solution that works for me. When I have two keyboard layouts installed (LT and RU) then keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+Letter and ALT+Letter stop working in KDE applications only (Krusader, Kate, etc.). Keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+. or CTRL+F1 or ALT+F4 are working fine. When I remove RU keyboard layout then all shortcuts work in KDE applications just fine.

By the way only KDE applications are affected. Gnome and XFCE applications are working fine all the time.

My solution was to remove RU keyboard layout.

Most of the issues you describe should be fixed in the git master branch of libxfce4ui. I still need to release libxfce4ui 4.10.1. I need some testers for this stable branch before releasing. So grab the code on git (xfce-4.10 branch of libxfce4ui) or from this tarball and please confirm if it works fine after restarting your session. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Jérôme

Some standard shortcuts works well even if configured with xfce standard tools, but for example I had problems with multimedia keys and started using xbindkeys for some shortcuts...

I thought I had two as well, but wasn't sure. Is... is one for "system" (/desktop environment) shortcuts and the other for activities such as running applications and the like?

I guess you can add me to the "confused" list. wink

Yes, it a bit confusing having two places to store shortcuts.

Hope this will be fixed...

Shortcut does not work when "Caps Lock" is activated .  last update probably added distinction between lower and uppercase keys.

Customized shortcuts do not work for me with automatic login. When I log out and in again, they work.

How can I fix this problem?

It also afects the Alt-Gr key.

I upgraded from 12.04 and shortcuts worked, in fact, they are still recognized in the short-cut list under the keyboard management app, but no longer usable.

Can not set Ctrl+F#

I press Ctrl+F7 to use xrandr to set my primary display. Works find with Super+F7 (or Fn+F7 on my laptop).

Ubuntu 12.04 here, had the problem of no keyboard shortcuts not working. Anything new I would set would not work as well. Tried deleting everyhing and putting in some new. logging in/logging out and other combinations of stuff mentioned.

This was my solution:
1. Log out
2. alt+ctrl+F1 (tty1)
3. log in as your username
4. rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/*
5. logout from tty1
6. alt+ctrl+f7 (or f8, depends)
7. log in to xfce
8. restore default kbd shortcuts (may not be needed?)
9. enjoy.

I have already set the Super+Printscreen hotkey instead of the Alt+Printscreen, but it's just that I have to use Windows at work and I would like to use the same hotkeys for similar stuff so that I don't have to think about it smile

Also Alt+Print is maybe supposed to be for the kernel commands.
I have for my screenshots 'Print' for full desktop, 'Super+Print' for active window and 'Primary+Print' for selecting a region.

Also <Alt>Printscreen doesn't work anymore.

Namely Shift+Fx key not working, and is always treated as Fx key only.

Both if I tried to manually edit xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml as well as in the GUI.

In the GUI, when I press Shift, "SHIFT_L" shows up, then I keep Shift pressed and press F4, then SHIFT_L disappears, F4 appears and a warning message that F4 is already used.

Quite annoying regression. How to fix it (except going back to 4.8)?

Upgrade to 4.10 - "complex" keyboard shortcuts no longer work

On 4.8 I used to have a bunch of shortcuts in the form:

<Super>+<Alt>+<Shift>+LETTER

They didn't function post-upgrade so I opened the shortcuts editor to "re-assign" them to see if they would work but I noticed that the editor no longer "sees" these complex shortcuts, not sure if this is expected behaviour or not but I thought I'd point it out.

I don't need a fix, just using a simplified shortcut :-)
