Shortcut to display diodon-menu is not working

[Martin Knoller Stocker]

The registered shortcut for the HistoryKey <Ctr><Alt>V does not display the diodon-menu.

Also when changing the shortcut no menu is displayed.

This is the debug output, while switching the shortcut, when diodon is started on the console

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could not reproduce this issue even on a freshly installed maverick installation.

So that we can track down the issue a bit further I've created a new branch with some more debug statements.

Do get the new branch installed on your machine follow these steps:
sudo apt-get build-dep diodon
bzr branch lp:~diodon-team/diodon/hotkey-fix
cd hotkey-fix
./waf configure
./waf build
sudo ./waf install

After starting diodon from the console again, check if there are any logging statement when the hotkey is pressed.

(Hint just call sudo ./waf uninstall do uninstall diodon again)

still no output

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

Can now also reproduce the bug. When either NumLock or CapsLock is active, the shortcut is not working.

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

Now all hot keys in combination with either the NumLock, CapsLock or ScrollLock key are grabbed to open the diodon menu.

Fix is committed in trunk (bzr branch lp:diodon).

Can you check it out and test if it is now working?

Yes, working like a charm ;) thx for the quick fix
