OpenSuse custom keyboard shortcuts not working
Just installed openSUSE 11.3, and after 5 seconds , my keyboard goes to sleep for 1-2 characters?Emacs and windows manager keyboard shortcuts without “Super” keySome keyboard shortcuts do not work in CompizGNOME 3 Ctrl+Alt+D (show desktop)How to reset linux centOS 6.0 keyboard shortcuts with custom changes to default one?install opensuse: Brightness is too low and keyboard fn keys do not workGlobal Keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu 14.04how to create custom shortcuts for scrot and gnome-screenshot interactive modeGNOME 3 two keyboard shortcuts for the same actionNo more keyboard shortcut possible based on 'super' key aka 'windows' in any WM
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Note: This question is specifically on a clean install of OpenSuse 11.3 with gnome as the display/desktop manager
I can't get custom keyboard shortcuts to work, default shortcuts are working properly, but the ones I changed I can only get one of them to work, I'm using the "windows key" to match functionality of Windows 7 for a few keys like maximize window (winkey+up), minimize window (winkey+down), etc; none of them work; for the record I did the exact same thing in Ubuntu and it worked without any problems.
additional info:
I also noticed that gnome-do by default uses a key that I had assigned (winkey+space) and it "wins" (runs gnome-do) over the custom global key I had assigned (show main menu), actually, I can change the key in gnome-do to another that I have in the keyboard shortcuts, and the gnome-do works; this just makes me wonder if there are other applications that are disabling the usage of the "winkey"
update: I also tried using gconf-editor apps/metacity, adding the keys there, still no luck, I tried Windows, Super, Mod4 for the WinKey name, none worked
In some apps it seems the WinKey is completely ignored, i.e. it performs the action associated to the key without the WinKey, though, like I said before, there's one or two custom WinKey+SomeKey that ARE working (changed them to something else, stopped working, changed it back, worked again)
Found this article from 2006 that sounds very much like the problem I'm having, though I followed the steps to fix it but didn't work for me
There seems to be a bug in Gnome /
Metacity / X somewhere that means you
can't use SUPER_L or SUPER_R (the left
and right windows keys on a keyboard)
with gnome system commands such as
"Lock Screen".
another thread of the same issue I'm having
I've been reading linux forums, it seems this might a be a bug on recent OpenSuse releases:
Many actions do not work with shortcuts in 11.3
Changing the Keyboard shortcuts in System->personal->Keyboard Shortcuts does not seem to be working.

and I just did the opposite, assigned WinKey+Home (which works when assigned to Home Folder") to the "show main menu" and it does not work, so it seems I just can't assign a key to some actions, like "show main menu"

You do not have to disable Compiz completely. I had the same issue, but it affected specifically the "Run Application Dialog" and "Open Main Menu". The problem is that Compiz Fusion takes control over some keyboard shotcuts to keep compatibility. This can be configured through the Compiz plugin "Gnome Compatibility" and other areas of the Compiz Panel.

Simple answer: Disable desktop effects
Long answer: I didn't even know compiz was my window manager!, I thought it was "gnome", somewhere in the configuration I saw "gnome-wm" listed as the "window manager", but I just found out that this is just a script to load the actual window manager
There's also an environment variable WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/gnome
so I guess this raises more questions for me, how do I know which display/desktop manager, window manager, is actually active? well I actually know the display manager is gnome, because that was part of the installation
anyway, for anyone else having the same problem, open up the control center, go to "look and feel", select "Desktop effects" and uncheck the box "enable desktop effects"
a quicker way to get to the same dialog is to run the command simple-ccsm (from the run application dialog, gnome-do, or the terminal).
now, that (I think) I know that I have compiz as my window manager, I also tried going into the gconf-editor/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options and set my shortcuts there, but that didn't work (did try logging out and back in again)

Its been awhile since I've run compiz. If I remember right it over rides the gnome settings which can be really annoying, I think.

Don't bother with the GUI stuff. Use the bind bash builtin.
Ctrl+V then key combination to echo key code to terminal.
bind '"key-code":"command"'

Don't bother with the GUI stuff. Use the bind bash builtin.
Ctrl+V then key combination to echo key code to terminal.
bind '"key-code":"command"'

@BlackTigerX questions like this are most likely very Destkop Environment/Window Manager specific, so adding tag Gnome.

I get this "KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001, root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 5827841, (162,-13), root:(166,18), state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False"

Now this is interesting, if I assign WinKey+Space (one I'm trying to get to work) to the Home folder, it works!, opens the home folder, but the same key, assigned to "show main menu" does not work

and I just did the opposite, assigned WinKey+Home (which works when assigned to Home Folder") to the "show main menu" and it does not work, so it seems I just can't assign a key to some actions, like "show main menu"
