The keyboard shortcuts (the ones defined in xfce4-keyboard-settings and xfwm4-settings) sometimes stop working, about once or twice a day. I have no idea what might be causing it (will add more info when I find a correlation). Every time I try using one of the shortcuts the tty outputs the following: ** (xfwm4:3723): WARNING **: Unhandled keyboard shortcut Restarting xfce-settings-helper doesn't help. Restarting the whole desktop environment does.
Man this is really getting on my nerves. I'd love to provide more information. What you need? I've just checked that the output of "xmodmap" doesn't change (I think I've read about some other bug where it did).
bug in xorg
(In reply to comment #2) > bug in xorg Hey. Mind to share more details about the XOrg bug? We've had several reports like this where keyboard shortcuts stopped working and it would be cool if we could check if those were related to yours.
My mode_switch key sometimes gets locked if I use it together with shift (to produce capital letters like Æ Ø Å). I think this is the result of a recent xorg update. In this locked state the shortcuts stop working (even though they don't include any keys altered by the mode_switch). I can unlock the mode_switch again by holding the mode_switch key, then holding shift, then releasing the mode_switch key and after that shift (shortcuts work again). Have not found a fix yet.
