Description dimitar.genov 2017-09-18 13:43:51 CEST
My system is Xubuntu 16.04 on a i5-3550 (x86_64) )  :
Linux 4.10.0-33-generic #37~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 14:07:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After updating xfce to 4.12.2 the following occurred
 
  cycling through windows with Alt+Tab worked, but Alt+Shift+Tab did not change the direction, it kept in the same direction as if I was hitting only Alt+Tab.

  I have experimented with various settings with the settings editor, relevant file:
    ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

  In the following KeyX is a random non-meta key ( eg "G" or "Tab" ).

  Setting /xfwm4/custom/<Alt>KeyX to "ActionA" and /xfwm4/custom/<Alt><Shift>KeyX to "ActionB", results in the following:

  Alt+KeyX produces ActionA
  Alt+ShifT+KeyX produces again ActionA ( instead of ActionB ).

  If Super is used instead of Alt, there is no problem, Super+KeyX produces a different action from Super+Shift+KeyX as configured.


I haven't filed many bug reports, so pardon if it is inadequate, please feel free to scorn or ignore it.

Hi Guys,

I pinppointed the problem.

If you use the alt+shift combination, than all alt+shift+otherkey combinations are void.

I haven't tested it with sub combinations other than alt+shift, but probably the result will be the same.

I guess this is the proper functionality anyway. There should be a warning somewhere though ;)

Sorry if I wasted your time on this.

BR,
DGenov
