Description Johannes Thraen 2005-03-04 12:24:21 UTC

There seem to be several problems with fluxbox's integrated key grabber.

1. It doesn't behave as specified in the manual:

  One cannot specify all emacs style key chains, as stated in the manual.
  i.e. "Mod 4 x k" does actually not define mod4+x - k, but mod4+x - mod4+k.

2. It swallows a few charakters of my input after changing the window focus via
   Mod4 n : NextWindow. 

3. This is not a bug but a minor inconsitency:
   The Keyword for the spacebar in the keys file is 'space', lowercase, while
   all other special keys begin with an uppercase.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Please file a bug upstream for these. None of them are thing I can fix easily myself.
