#27976: Awesome window manager decodes key presses incorrectly. --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: sipefree@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: awesome --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- I've experienced this bug on numerous computers now, all running Snow Leopard and with no difference when using other system keyboard layouts. It manifests itself by an incorrect decoding of key presses from the user. I have not mapped out every individual key, but here are some examples: Pressing Mod-Shift-C to close a window, it is seen as Mod-Shift-7, which moves the window to desktop 7 instead. Interestingly, Mod-X is supposed to bring up a prompt for executing lua code, which it does, but it also captures Mod-X as Mod-6, which moves to desktop 6. The number keys are not seen at all, and instead the event is passed to the active window. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug in XQuartz, or in Awesome. I suspect this may have something to do with the way Awesome handles events from XCB, since other WMs that use vanilla xlib don't exhibit this problem. This problem makes the port unusable. Feel free to close it if you believe it's something that should be fixed upstream or in XQuartz, but I'd like to open a dialog with the port maintainer on the issue. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27976> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
