Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4
I use fresh-installed Xubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).
xfce4: 4.6.0
Problem:
Keyboard shortcuts for commands including Ctrl (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + Delete for xflock4)
do not work when xkb option "ctrl:swapcaps" (or "ctrl:nocaps") is enabled.
Reproduction procedure:
1. Type Ctrl + Alt + Delete to activate xflock4, confirming you can use the shortcut by default.
2. Modify /etc/default/
XKBOPTIONS=
or
XKBOPTIONS=
3. Restart HAL and Xorg (or simply reboot the system)
4. Type Ctrl + Alt + Delete again, and this time it does not activate xflock4.
Note:
- It seems that Ctrl key is not recognized as a modifier.
- When I tried to add a new keyboard shortcut via xfce4-settings-
- Shortcuts for xfwm4 (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + D for "show desktop") work well.
- The problem is related to using evdev driver for the keyboard?
