[Selection] Enter and Escape keys don't work any more

[Michael Kogan]

More detailed description here: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/shutter-screenshot-programm-eingabetaste-funkt/

Reproducible with Arch Linux and Ubuntu Maverick, latest bzr build (rev. 1029) of Shutter.

It does work on maverick again, but it still does not work on Arch. The problem is that the keysyms differ, see:

perldoc -m Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms:

generated from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h
package Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms;
%Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms = (
   'KEY_VoidSymbol' => 0xffffff,
   'KEY_BackSpace' => 0xff08,
   'KEY_Tab' => 0xff09,
   'KEY_Linefeed' => 0xff0a,
   'KEY_Clear' => 0xff0b,
   'KEY_Return' => 0xff0d,
   'KEY_Pause' => 0xff13,
   'KEY_Scroll_Lock' => 0xff14,
   'KEY_Sys_Req' => 0xff15,
   'KEY_Escape' => 0xff1b,
   'KEY_Delete' => 0xffff,
   'KEY_Multi_key' => 0xff20,
   'KEY_Codeinput' => 0xff37,
   'KEY_SingleCandidate' => 0xff3c,
   'KEY_MultipleCandidate' => 0xff3d,
   'KEY_PreviousCandidate' => 0xff3e,
   'KEY_Kanji' => 0xff21,
   'KEY_Muhenkan' => 0xff22,
   'KEY_Henkan_Mode' => 0xff23,
   'KEY_Henkan' => 0xff23,

On Ubuntu and most other distributions it is 'Escape' => 0xff1b instead of 'KEY_Escape' => 0xff1b.

I have the same problem on Gentoo amd64 (uses x11-libs/gtk+-2.22.1-r1). Very annoying.

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

This is due some changes in the gtk2-perl bindings. You can follow the discussion here:

I am already looking for a solution / workaround.

Same problem on Archlinux

I don't think we need to change anything here. Just wait for the next gtk2-perl release.

Seems to be fixed now.
